Understanding Acromegaly and Its Causes
Acromegaly is a condition characterized by the excessive production of growth hormone due to a pituitary tumor. This hormone imbalance leads to noticeable physical changes, such as broader facial features, larger hands, and feet. Over time, it can also increase the risk of heart disease and diabetes, making timely intervention crucial.
