Although they have good drug effects, their side effects are also frightening enough. So what are hormone drugs? What are the dangers of hormone drugs? I believe that many of us ordinary people are eager to understand. Hormone drugs are drugs that use human or animal hormones as the active ingredients. The term “hormone drugs” in doctors’ mouths is generally referred to as “adrenal glucocorticoids” when not specifically designated as such. Other hormone drugs are often referred to by their classification names, such as “androgens”, “insulin”, “growth hormone”, etc. Hormone drugs can be divided into: glucocorticoids, adrenocorticotropic hormones, norepinephrine, progesterone, estrogen, and androgens, etc. These drugs are commonly used in the following ways: intravenous, oral, topical and others. Common dosage forms: powder injection, water injection, capsule, tablet, cream, ointment, aerosol. Hormones can cause breast cancer, prostate cancer, testicular cancer, ovarian cancer, thyroid cancer, paratesticular cysts, vaginal cancer, seminal nest cancer, etc. Secondly, it affects the nervous system and can easily lead to rapid heartbeat, panic, hand tremor, dizziness, headache and other phenomena of uncontrolled nerve center poisoning, especially for patients with hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, hyperthyroidism and prostate enlargement. Third, the irregular application of hormonal drugs (arbitrary addition, discontinuation, irregular withdrawal, etc.) prolonged, high-dose use of prednisone and other corticosteroids will aggravate the degree of sexual dysfunction. Almost all immune agents can make testicular atrophy, ovarian damage. Fourth, the side effects of taking hormone drugs during pregnancy can affect the development of the child. V. Long-term topical hormones can also be absorbed into the blood circulation through the skin, causing diabetes, hypertension, osteoporosis, aseptic osteonecrosis, obesity, hirsutism, acne, sodium retention, edema, reduced blood potassium, menstrual disorders, gastric and duodenal ulcers and other diseases. Sixth, longer or short time high dose injection or internal hormone can cause some damage to the kidney itself, such as aggravating glomerular disease proteinuria, aggravating glomerulosclerosis, easily causing kidney calcification or kidney stones, inducing or aggravating kidney infectious diseases, causing hypokalemic nephropathy and polycystic nephropathy, etc. Long-term use of physiological doses may cause centripetal obesity, full-moon face, purple lines, thinning skin, muscle weakness, muscle atrophy, hypokalemia, swelling, nausea, vomiting, hypertension, diabetes, acne, hirsutism, infection, pancreatitis, poor wound healing, osteoporosis, induce or aggravate peptic ulcers, growth inhibition in children, induce psychiatric symptoms, etc. Eight, long-term application of large amounts of the eye can cause an increase in blood pressure, leading to optic nerve damage, visual field defects, posterior subcapsular cataracts, secondary fungal or viral infections. It can be seen that hormonal drugs are extremely harmful to the human body, but we should not ignore their therapeutic effects, and taking them under medical advice can minimize their harmful effects. After all, for the treatment of some diseases, it is inseparable from hormonal drugs.
