Adrenal hyperplasia must be treated surgically

Adrenal hyperplasia does not necessarily require surgery. Adrenal hyperplasia should first be evaluated for symptoms. The most typical symptoms may be hypertension, hypokalemia, obesity, and sexual dysfunction. If malignant hypertension is present, surgery is definitely required. Adrenal hyperplasia is most likely to be primary aldosteronism, cortisol, and catecholamine, all of which cause increased blood pressure. Surgery may be considered if blood pressure is not well controlled with medication. Early surgery may also be considered if the adenoma is larger than two centimeters. Most adrenal hyperplasia that does not cause symptoms does not require surgery.
