Is surgery not recommended for adrenal adenomas

If the adrenal adenoma is small in size and not functional, it can be observed regularly without surgery; if the adenoma is functional or large in size, surgery is recommended. 1. Non-functional adrenal adenomas: some adrenal adenomas do not have endocrine function, neither do they secrete hormones, which will cause adverse effects on the body. If the tumor is found to be benign during examination, and the size of the tumor is relatively small, and the patient has no obvious symptoms, there is no need for special treatment, and the tumor can be monitored regularly without surgery for the time being. 2. Functional adrenal adenoma: Functional adrenal tumors may cause primary aldosteronism, which is a relatively common clinical disease affecting the endocrine function, and thus is more serious, and may produce excessive aldosterone, which leads to endocrine disorders in human body. Surgery is usually recommended. When adrenal adenoma is detected, timely medical treatment is required to clarify the diagnosis, and under the guidance of the doctor and according to the patient’s own situation, choose the appropriate method of treatment, in order to obtain better therapeutic effects and avoid adverse situations.
