Adrenal adenoma is a harmless tumor which develops in the adrenal gland. Though benign, it may cause excessive production of hormones and cause such symptoms as increased weight, hypertension, and muscle weaknesses.
The most common symptoms are increased weight (without the usual reason, usually in the face and the abdomen), hypertension, fatigue, muscle weakness, and occasionally fluctuations of blood sugar levels. The symptoms have a variation that is based on hormone overproduction.
The serrated adenoma is a polyp of the colon having a jagged edge. Although it is harmless in the beginning, it has increased chances of changing to colorectal cancer unless it is removed at an early stage.
The effects of pituitary adenoma include headache, vision impairment (such as peripheral vision loss), hormonal disorder resulting in mood swings, dizziness in females, and other symptoms to do with endocrine disorders.
A colonoscopic resection involves the removal of a tubular adenoma of the colon. Once removed, your physician might prescribe a repeated encroach of colonoscopies to keep a watch over the occurrence of fresh polyps or new ones.
Pay attention to the changes in your body weight that lack any obvious reasons, the continuous stomachache, bloody diarrhea, the impaired vision, the headaches, or any factors that may indicate the possible hormonal disequilibrium.
GastroDoxs in Jersey Village provides good diagnosis and treatment of all forms of adenomas. Our group of experts offers quick-service imaging, endoscopy, surgical assessment, as well as custom-made care plans.
To rule out or rule in the presence of an adenoma and its activity, your doctor might request imaging (CT scan, MRI), endoscopic (colonoscopy) and blood tests (hormones) to rule out/rule-in the suspected location.
The vast majority of adenoma is non-malignant (benign). Nevertheless, some kinds of such types- including serrated colon adenomas- could turn into cancer upon neglect. Prevention of progression is mostly associated with early detection and removal.
The process of recovery will be different. The recovery of the endoscopic removal takes place in most patients in a few days. The recovery time of surgical intervention in case of bigger adenomas could take two up to four weeks depending on the health determinants of the person.
