what is hypersecretion?
Hypersecretion is an excessive secretion of a substance made by the body.Some conditions characterized by hormone hypersecretion are known by the hormone or gland involved, as in hyperpituitarism, hypergonadism, and hyperaldosteronism. People can produce too many hormones because of an endocrine imbalance, damage to the gland, or an attempt to cope with a disease.

When hormones are secreted in excess, people often develop physical and sometimes emotional symptoms.
