Acromegaly Treatment

Acromegaly is a hormonal disorder caused by too much growth hormone, often due to a tumor on the pituitary gland. Treatment typically involves surgery to remove the tumor, which can help lower hormone levels. If surgery isn’t possible or doesn’t fully work, medications may be prescribed to reduce growth hormone production or block its effects. In some cases, radiation therapy may be used to shrink the tumor. The goal of treatment is to restore hormone balance, alleviate symptoms, and prevent complications, improving overall health and quality of life for those affected.
