Primary Aldosteronism (Conn's Syndrome): Pills, Medicines & Surgery Explained

Can pills and medications cure primary aldosteronism (PA or Conn’s syndrome)? The short answer: no. While drugs like spironolactone and eplerenone can help control blood pressure and potassium levels, they are usually only a temporary fix. Surgery to remove the adrenal tumor is the only curative treatment. In this video, Dr. Carling from the Carling Adrenal Center explains: The role of medical therapy (spironolactone and eplerenone) in managing PA Common side effects of spironolactone including breast tenderness, gynecomastia, fatigue, and sexual side effects Why eplerenone may be better tolerated but less effective When medications are appropriate (bridging to surgery, patients too high-risk for anesthesia, severe obesity, lack of access to an expert adrenal surgeon, or short life expectancy) Why the mini back scope adrenalectomy remains the gold standard for curing primary aldosteronism once and for all Pills may mask symptoms, but only surgery fixes the root cause. If you’ve been diagnosed with PA, talk to your doctor about the best treatment options and whether surgery is right for you. 👉 Learn more at www.adrenal.com #ConnsSyndrome #PrimaryAldosteronism #AdrenalSurgery #AdrenalHealth #Hypertension #HighBloodPressure #HormoneHealth #EndocrineSurgery #BloodPressureControl #MiniBackScope 00:01 Introduction to primary aldosteronism and treatments 00:47 Medical management with mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists 01:52 Side effects of spironolactone and eplerenone 02:48 When to use medications before surgery 03:40 Surgery as the definitive cure and closing remarks
