Growth Hormone Excess
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Excess growth hormone occurs when the body produces more of this hormone than it needs, usually because of a problem in the gland that makes it. Its effects depend on the stage of life in which it appears.
Possible manifestations: In adults, it may be noticed as enlargement of the hands, feet, and facial features, increased sweating, and joint pain; when it occurs before growth is complete, it may be associated with excessive height.
When to see a doctor? An evaluation is advisable when there are progressive changes in the size of the hands, feet, or facial features, or strikingly rapid growth.
Which specialist treats it? Endocrinology specializes in hormones and is the field indicated to study this imbalance, with nutritional support when needed. Seeing a professional makes it possible to confirm the cause and guide care in a personalized way.
