Pituitary Tumor
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A pituitary tumor is an abnormal growth of cells in the pituitary gland, a small gland located at the base of the brain that regulates a large part of the body's hormones.
Common symptoms: Depending on its size and activity, it may be associated with headaches, vision changes, or hormonal disturbances that affect weight, energy, or reproductive function. Many are benign and slow-growing.
When should you seek care? It's reasonable to consult when there are persistent headaches, vision changes, or hormonal symptoms without a clear explanation.
Which specialist treats it? The endocrinologist, along with the pediatric endocrinologist when it involves children, evaluates hormonal function and coordinates the necessary tests. Seeing a professional in time helps clarify the source of the discomfort.
