Patient's question:
Because of a certain illness, I have been unable to stop taking medication for a long time. Due to the medication, my endocrine system has become problematic. Now, I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. Is it true that excessive secretion of growth hormone can lead to gigantism?Doctor's answer:
If there are any abnormal issues in your case, it is recommended to have a check-up at the hospital for endocrine hormone levels. If excessive growth hormone secretion occurs before puberty, it may lead to gigantism. If the condition starts after puberty, when the epiphyses have already fused, it is acromegaly. If the condition starts during puberty and the expansion continues even after adulthood, it is acromegalic gigantism. It is advised to have a re-examination for your case.
