Acromegaly: Lifestyle Changes and Self-Help

Acromegaly symptoms can be treated if diagnosed early. Surgical removal of tumor is the best treatment option in most cases. However, success depends on size of tumor and experience of surgeon. If tumor is very big, it cannot be removed completely even by surgery. The leftover parts of tumor continue to cause problems and you require further treatment through radiation and medications.

If acromegaly remains undiagnosed or if you do not undergo any treatment, symptoms escalate. You are at an increased risk of various serious ailments like cardiovascular problems, diabetes, high blood pressure, and others.

Acromegaly is a difficult medical condition. It is best not to try any self-medication or self-care. Abide by your doctor’s advices and suggestions to combat and overcome annoying or uncomfortable symptoms.

Be frank with your doctor and disclose all your symptoms. You can also discuss your worries and doubts. Attend all medical appointments regularly. Make a list of medications you are already been prescribed for other medical conditions. Discuss if these medications will be effective with acromegaly medications or the medications could cause any side effects.

Discuss treatment costs, medical insurance, and other aids. Plan how you can prepare and meet this financial contingency. Take old photographs to help doctor compare them with your present physical looks. It is best for a family member to accompany you on doctor visits.
