Hypertrophy Hormonal. (H. Hormonalis; Syn. G. Endocrine)

Endocrine hypertrophy (hormonal hypertrophy) is primarily the process of increasing the size of an organ or tissue in individual organs of a multicellular organism under the influence of prolonged excessive formation of sex hormones or hormones, peptide hormones or enkephalin metabolites with a simultaneous decrease in the size of the organ parenchyma due to the development of albinism ( lymph nodes during pregnancy with cirrhosis of the liver, etc.), or as a consequence of exogenous (drug addiction, lactation) or internal intoxication of the body.

Causes of hyperplasia: Changes in hormone levels, abnormalities of the pituitary gland and hypothalamus, exposure to radiation and extreme temperatures, and heredity. There are several types of hyperplasia depending on the cause of its occurrence. Most cases are associated with the withdrawal of an antiprogestogen drug and are associated with the formation of the corpus luteum - the glandular tissue in the ovary that produces progesterone and secretes female sex hormones.

What types of hyperplasia are there? 1. Firstly, this is dysfunctional endometrial hyperplasia - this is the growth of the functional layer of the endometrium from the inner lining of the uterus. A characteristic feature is that the increase can occur both at a shallow depth and throughout the entire thickness of the uterine wall; in addition, inflammation and blood loss can completely restore a woman’s reproductive function. 2. Adenoid hyperplasia is one of the most common and well-known manifestations of adenoid growth, in which the nasal mucosa is adjacent to the deeper parts of the throat. The causes of adenoid disease can be congenital or acquired, usually caused by allergies or viral infections, hypothermia, contact with chemicals or allergens. Symptoms include frequent sore throat

Hormone-dependent hypertrophy occurs as a result of dysfunction of the endocrine system. It usually appears in the area of ​​the reproductive organs, such as the gonads or uterus. Hypertrophic processes can be caused by both dysfunction of the endocrine glands and a number of other reasons, such as injury or infection. It is important to remember that these processes do not always go unnoticed and can lead to the development of serious complications.
