acromegaly: The Complete Guidebook On The Causes, Symptom, Diagnosis, Treatment And Management

By Dr. Andrew Wayne

An abnormal growth pattern can emerge if your pituitary gland produces an excessive amount of growth hormone. This condition is known as acromegaly. The abnormal growth initially manifests in your hands and feet, where you will notice a swelling of the soft tissue. This uncommon disease primarily strikes adults in their middle years. If treatment is not received, it can result in severe illness and even death.
A condition known as gigantism can develop in children when there is an excess of the growth hormone. The result of this is a significant increase in height.
