I'm a 40-year-old woman dealing with non-cancerous myopia of the adrenal glands for the past year. I'm really hesitant about major surgery are there any other treatment options I could explore instead?

For non-cancerous adrenal tumors causing myopia, which is not the usual term for adrenal issues, but more likely a concern about hormonal imbalances or adrenal tumors, the first line of treatment is often observation and monitoring if the tumor is small and not causing symptoms. Minimally invasive surgery, like laparoscopic or robotic adrenalectomy, is often used for adrenal tumors. Alternative treatments may include medications to manage hormone imbalances or, if adrenal insufficiency is a concern, hormone replacement therapy
