Comprehensive Review on a Complicated Endocrine Disorder (Acromegaly) | Chapter 12 | Current Practice in Medical Science Vol. 9

 This article's goal is to familiarise readers with acromegaly's symptoms, indicators, and treatments. Acromegaly is a condition that causes abnormalities in other metabolic systems as well as excessive body tissue growth. The anterior pituitary's oversecretion of growth hormone is what causes it. A benign (non-cancerous) tumour is typically what causes acromegaly, which most frequently affects people in their middle years. Acromegaly patients have joint pain, physical deformities, depth of voice, projecting lower jaw, huge hands and feet, oily skin, visual problems, and sexual dysfunction (impotence). Gigantism happens before the fusing of the growth plates, whereas acromegaly happens later. It is determined that any illness management approach must be patient-centered, improve the patient experience in healthcare, and reduce the burden of their treatment. The current study may be useful for doing systematic and focused research for more practical acromegaly management.
