I need info on signs and symptoms of pituitary adenoma. My friend who was diagnosed with pituitary adenoma had loss of menstruation as one of the early symptoms. Lately I’ve been having decreased menstruation and some problems with it, so I am afraid that I might be having pituitary adenoma.
Well, I can tell you what are the symptoms of pituitary adenoma, but I think it is the best to call a doctor and discuss your problem with him. The most common form of pituitary tumor are prolactinomas, cause the loss of menstruation, the spontaneous flow of milk from the breast, and infertility in females. Visual symptoms vary and include bitemporal visual field loss more dense from the superior to inferior, color desaturation, diplopia as well as ophthalmoplegia tumors expand into the cavernous sinus and the funduscopic sign of long-standing chiasmal compression is primary optic atrophy, severe optic atrophy indicates a poor prognosis for visual recovery following surgical decompression.
