Pituitary Adenoma treatment in Mexicali

A pituitary adenoma is an almost always benign tumor that develops in the pituitary gland, a gland located at the base of the brain that regulates much of the body's hormones. Depending on its size and whether it produces hormones, its effects vary.

Common symptoms: It may show up with headaches, vision changes, and hormonal imbalances that affect mood, weight, or the body's cycles.

When to see a doctor? An evaluation is advisable in the face of persistent vision changes or hormonal symptoms with no clear explanation.

Which specialist treats it? The neurosurgeon is key when a pituitary adenoma requires intervention because of its size or location, often in coordination with other hormone specialists. If you have these symptoms, a timely consultation helps clarify the picture.
