Yes. I was born with a wide hole where the uvula should be. The doctors sewed it shut but I don't have a uvula. It just looks like a normal person's mouth but no tip hanging down.

What causes someone to be born without a uvula What are the issues of not having a uvula?

Being born without a uvula, a condition known as "agenesis of the uvula," can occur due to genetic factors or developmental anomalies during pregnancy. The absence of a uvula can lead to potential issues such as difficulties with swallowing, increased risk of nasal regurgitation, and challenges in speech clarity. Some individuals may also experience a higher susceptibility to throat infections. However, many people live without significant complications.


What happens when there is no uvula?

Nothing. The uvula plays a small role, along with the soft palate, in swallowing but the soft palate can perform its function sans uvula. That person could have been born without a uvula or had it removed. Generally if the uvula doesn't form and a person is born without it, they might also have a soft cleft palate.


Why do you vomit when you touch your uvula?

I don't believe I have ever heard of anyone's uvula "falling off", but I do know of several people that have had their uvula removed. It is not something that is necessary to live. You will have a greater risk to choking on things without it there, but the feeling of needing to cough everything back up goes away after a while. Just be careful to chew things up well because without it, you will tend to swallow things and not know how large the bite is and you might choke.
