Gland Disorder

Asked for Male, 31 years

I was having symptoms of adrenal gland disorder. My doc asked to take synacthen test/ACTH Stimulation Test. I read about a patient who got a ruptured vein in his bowels after this test. Now I am hesitant about it. My question is whether there is an alternative test or not which I can take?

Dear Patient,

After thorough research, I didn't come across any such complication seen in routine cases of this test. If this did occur for a patient it must be due to some other underlying illness or another cause that added to this.
You can ask your doctor the likely complications you may have but that's a small percentage of people in most cases. We wish you luck.
