Prevention and Coping with Acromegaly

New York (USA), June 21, 2013

Preventing Acromegaly

There are no proven methods to prevent acromegaly. There is no known cause of pituitary tumors that lead to acromegaly. Without a known cause, it is not possible to prevent occurrence of acromegaly.

Early detection of symptoms can at the best help you tackle acromegaly much better as you do not have to face severe complications of the disease.

Coping with Acromegaly

Acromegaly poses new and unknown situations and challenges. You feel depressed and anxious about your health. You are doubtful of your ability to take care of your family. The best option is to discuss your situation frankly with family and friends. Seek professional help to handle your concerns.

Sharing concerns can be comforting and reassuring. Seek help from a support group. Since acromegaly is a rare disease, it is difficult to locate people with similar disease in your locality or city. Scout on the Internet for information. Visit libraries and read books on acromegaly for self-education.

Diagnosis of acromegaly could be difficult to handle; however, once you come to terms with your condition, you are mentally better prepared to tackle difficult situations that could arise later. Be optimistic and rejoice at small improvements in your condition.

Develop hobbies and spend time in doing things you like. Become a volunteer and help others with acromegaly. Early detection and effective treatment can help you lead a normal life.
