No prevention exists in the case of acromegaly. However, it is necessary to start treatment early in a way that prevents worsening of this endocrine disease.
Taking Care of Yourself
When you get diagnosed with a condition like acromegaly, it can help to connect with other people who have it. Ask your doctor if there are local support groups, or consider joining an online support group. If you think it would be helpful to talk with a counselor, your doctor can give you a referral.
Let your family and friends know what they can do to support you. They'll want to help, but they may not know what to offer, so be specific about what you would find helpful.
