Pituitary Adenoma
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
When persistent headaches, changes in vision, or hormonal disturbances appear without an obvious cause, it may be reasonable to explore the region of the pituitary gland, where a pituitary adenoma sometimes develops.
What is it? It is an almost always benign tumor that grows in the pituitary gland, located at the base of the brain and responsible for regulating numerous hormones in the body.
Common symptoms: depending on its size and activity, it can cause headache, vision problems, and hormonal imbalances that affect various functions.
Which specialist treats it? Its management may involve the neurosurgeon and, when radiation therapy is considered, the radiation therapist and the radiation oncologist. If you experience symptoms like those described, going for a professional evaluation makes it possible to guide the study appropriately.
