Acromegaly

Acromegaly and Gigantism are hormonal disorders caused by the excessive secretion of growth hormone (GH) from the pituitary gland, usually due to a benign tumor called a pituitary adenoma. The difference lies in the age of onset — Gigantism occurs in childhood before the closure of growth plates, leading to abnormal height and overall body enlargement, while Acromegaly occurs in adulthood, after the bones have matured, resulting in enlargement of hands, feet, facial features, and internal organs rather than increased height.

Homeopathy treats Acromegaly and Gigantism by addressing the root hormonal imbalance, improving pituitary function, and supporting overall glandular health. Remedies are prescribed after careful assessment of physical symptoms, emotional state, and constitution. Homeopathy helps to slow down abnormal growth, relieve discomfort, and improve general vitality, though advanced cases may require combined conventional management.
