Patient's question:
I am 15 years old and recently noticed something like a male Adam's apple appearing on my neck. It's more noticeable when I look up. When I touch it, there's no sensation, no pain or itching. What could be the reason? Could it be goiter?Doctor's answer:
Hello, women should not develop a Adam's apple. This situation should be considered whether there is an increase in androgen secretion. It is recommended that you go to the hospital's surgical department for a blood routine check and a neck lymph node ultrasound, paying attention to lymph node enlargement caused by infection. If necessary, check the secretion of another hormone and make a clear diagnosis based on the situation. Do not blindly evaluate yourself. It is usually necessary to observe whether there are local pain or cough symptoms.
