It is generally abnormal for a man to lack an Adam’s apple. Most individuals do have an Adam’s apple, though in some cases it may not be particularly prominent and thus not visibly apparent. If an Adam’s apple is present but not clearly visible externally, this is usually considered normal and typically does not warrant concern. However, if an Adam’s apple is truly absent, it may indicate altered hormone levels and therefore warrants medical attention to prevent potential adverse effects on health.
