Is it normal to have flesh-like growths on the muscles under both sides of the tongue?

In general, whether the presence of flesh-like growths on the tendons under the tongue on both sides is normal needs to be determined based on specific circumstances. This condition could be a normal physiological phenomenon, but it could also be a symptom caused by a disease.

The presence of flesh-like growths on the tendons under the tongue on both sides might be a normal physiological occurrence. In the oral cavity, there are many normal anatomical structures beneath the tongue, among which the sublingual caruncle is relatively common. The sublingual caruncle refers to mucosal elevations beneath the tongue that appear as folds or ridges in the sublingual area, resembling flesh-like projections. These structures are normal tissue and may exist in everyone, requiring no special attention or treatment.

However, oral mucosa may develop localized swelling or hyperplasia due to infections, allergic reactions, mechanical injuries, etc., forming structures resembling flesh projections. Additionally, conditions such as sublingual gland cysts or genital warts (condyloma acuminatum) could also lead to the appearance of flesh-like growths on the tendons under the tongue on both sides. If abnormal flesh-like structures are noticed under the tongue, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly for evaluation.

In daily life, maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding excessive consumption of irritating foods are recommended to help prevent the occurrence of related diseases.
