Symptoms of Hormonal Disturbance
Early puberty: Signs of early
puberty can include menstruation or
the development of other secondary
sex characteristics, such as breast
development or an enlarged penis
before age 10.
Hyperthyroidism: When a person's
thyroid gland is overactive, he or
she suffers from hyperthyroidism.
Signs of hyperthyroidism include
anxiety, excessive sweating and
weight loss.
Overactivity of the adrenal glands:
Weight gain, a red face, muscle
weakness and high blood sugar may
indicate overactivity of the adrenal
glands.
Oversecretion of pituitary hormones:
Signs of oversecretion of pituitary
hormones could include milk
production in the breasts of women
who have not been pregnant recently;
gigantism, or extreme height
beginning before puberty; and
acromegaly, or extreme fleshiness
beginning after puberty.
High blood calcium from parathyroid
hormone: Nausea, vomiting,
constipation and impaired mental
function may be indicators of a high
blood calcium level due to excessive
production of parathyroid hormone.
Rickets: In rare instances, children
with fibrous dysplasia may
experience impaired growth and
develop skeletal deformities due to
rickets.
