Hello, guys. I was at the doctor’s yesterday. He suspects I have adenoma in pituitary gland, but he would like to run some tests to be a hundred percent sure. I am interested what happens when there is adenoma in this gland. I would really appreciate your help with this. Bye!

Hi, there. It is good that you were at the doctor’s office. In general adenomas in pituitary gland are not deadly. They are benign by their nature and don’t give metastatic lesions. They can manifest with some inconvenient symptoms. They can make pressure on sinus cavity and trigeminal nerve and give headaches. They can also suppress optic nerve and give vision disorders. If they suppress the remaining tissue of pituitary gland, then there is a lack of pituitary hormones. On the other hand, the adenoma itself can produce hormones and make some unpleasant symptoms. Talk to your doctor about your treatment options.
