When is adrenalectomy needed for adrenal swelling? Not all adrenal swellings require surgery. Adrenalectomy is usually advised when the adrenal tumor is large, hormonally active, rapidly increasing in size, or suspicious for cancer. Common indications for adrenalectomy: • Large adrenal tumor (>4–5 cm) • Hormone-secreting adrenal tumors causing symptoms • Rapid growth on follow-up scans • Suspicion of adrenal cancer • Symptoms such as high blood pressure, pain, weight changes, or metabolic disturbances Early endocrine evaluation is essential before planning surgery. Proper hormonal assessment helps determine the safest and most effective treatment approach. Consult an endocrinologist for complete evaluation and surgical guidance. #Adrenalectomy #AdrenalTumor #AdrenalSwelling #Endocrinology #HormoneHealth #AdrenalGland #EndocrineSurgery #HormonalDisorders #HighBloodPressure #MetabolicHealth #CancerAwareness #SurgicalOncology #HalstedCancerCentre #DrRamkumar #Endocrinologist #AnnaNagar #ChennaiDoctors #HealthEducation #MedicalAwareness #DiabetesAndEndocrineClinic May 21, 2026
