Pathological Hypersecretory Disorder

Pathological Hypersecretory Disorder General Information

The clinical phrase “Pathological Hypersecretory Disorder” does not refer to a specific medical condition, but to a set of clinical diseases that have a certain aspect in common (the presence of a hypersecretion of any kind). In this article, we intend to present you the main characteristics, symptoms, and available therapy options against two of the most common hypersecretory medical disorders that present a pathological cause.

One of the most common disorders that fit into this category is ZES (an abbreviation that stands for Zollinger-Ellison syndrome). This rare medical condition is characterized by the presence of tumors in the patient’s duodenum and / or pancreas. Other patients present ulcers of the duodenum and / or pancreas. The affection of these two organs that present a secretory function (for example, the pancreas produces enzymes that are supposed to digest carbohydrates, proteins and fat; it also produces insulin and other hormones). The affection of these two organs leads to the excessive presence (sue to excessive production) of gastrin (a hormone that naturally occurs in the organism). This forces the patient’s stomach produce higher amounts of acid (leading to duodenal and / or stomach ulcers).

Another common Pathological Hypersecretory Disorder is Hyperhidrosis. In a healthy organism, the normal amount of sweat is controlled by the sympathetic innervations of the patient’s eccrine sweat glands. This idiopathic medical condition is known to affect 1% of the entire population of the world. The main characteristics of this medical illness is the presence of uncontrollable, excessive (and most of the time, spontaneous) sweating (more than the body needs to return to a healthy temperature). If a patient presents a family history that involves this condition, he or she is more prone to developing this illness.

Pathological Hypersecretory Disorder Symptoms

The diagnosis of a Pathological Hypersecretory Disorder refers to the presence of a medical condition that involves a hypersecretion of any kind. The patient’s physician is bound to provide the individual with further information regarding his or her medical condition (the physician will inform the patient from which one of the clinical illnesses that fit in this category he or she is suffering from). The symptoms that may be triggered by the presence of such a medical disorder (Pathological Hypersecretory Disorder) are known to vary, depending on the type of hypersecretory disease that the individual has developed.

For example, the most common clinical symptoms and signs that have been reported by patients who are suffering from ZES (Zollinger-Ellison syndrome), include the following clinical manifestations: burping pain (that is generally located in the patient’s abdominal area), nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, weakness, fatigue, weight loss, gnawing, bleeding, and so on. The diagnosis of this medical disorder is set through a medical blood test that is able to measure the patient’s blood levels of gastrin. Further medical exams (in most cases, endoscopies) are sometimes employed in order for the health care provider to detect the presence of ulcers. Patients who are diagnosed with the presence of Hyperhidrosis (another type of Pathological Hypersecretory Disorder) will experience other symptoms that have been associated with the presence of this particular medical condition. The main characteristic of this medical condition is excessive sweating. This can affect all the organism’s sweat glands (generalized Hyperhidrosis) or only certain sweat glands (in this case the patient is suffering from a localized form of this illness; he or she may experience sweating of the groin, armpits, soles, palms, and so on). Most individuals are more sensible to sweating stimuli like nicotine, caffeine, tension, exercise, pain, anxiety, etc.

Pathological Hypersecretory Disorder Treatment

Although the main therapy options that are known to be effective in the case of Pathological Hypersecretory Disorders depend on the type of clinical illness that the patient presents, it is a well known fact that the intake of magnesium oxide is very effective in dealing with medical disorders of this kind. For this reason, in this article we aim to familiarize you with the advantages and disadvantages that a therapy with such medical products is known to include. Magnesium oxide is a quite common medical ingredient that is highly effective in the therapy against most Pathological Hypersecretory Disorders. It is the main ingredient of many mineral and electrolyte medical products that can be found under various brand names (including Mag-200, Mag-Caps, Mag-Ox, MagGel, Uro-Mag, and so on).

Magnesium is a natural mineral that is vital for the well being of the human organisms, playing an important part for the patient’s nerves and / or muscles. A therapy with these medical supplements is known to be able to make sure that the individual’s blood levels of magnesium will return to normal. Before you start a therapy with any of the magnesium oxide medicines that we have listed above, you should inform your personal health care provider if you are suffering from any other medical conditions (apart from your Pathological Hypersecretory Disorder) as it is well known that the presence of some clinical illnesses (such as kidney disease) may prevent you from being able to start a therapy with this medicine.
Studies were not able to determine without further doubt whether a therapy with magnesium oxide supplements may be safely prescribed to a pregnant female. Ask your gynecologist for further information. During your therapy with this medicine you should use an effective non-hormonal contraceptive method, in order to avoid an unwanted pregnancy. Each tablet and / or capsule of magnesium oxide should be accompanied by the intake of a glass of liquid. If you are using the liquid form of a magnesium oxide medicine you should use a special measuring device (measuring spoon, measuring cup, and so on) in order to make sure that you are using the correct dose of this medicine that you physician has prescribed you in the therapy against your Pathological Hypersecretory Disorder. If you do not own such a device, you may purchase one from your local pharmaceutical location. The intake of magnesium oxide based medical products will interfere with your therapy with other medicines, especially: Tetracycline (Achromycin V, Sumycin, and others), Minocycline (Dynacin, Minocin, and others), Doxycycline (Monodox, Vibramycin, Doxy, and others), Penicillamine (Cuprimine); Nitrofurantoin (Furadantin, Macrodantin, others), Enoxacin (Penetrex), Ciprofloxacin (Cipro), and so on.
