Pituitary Tumor

Recommended Posts

Bill D

About 2 months ago I was diagnosed with a 6 mm prolactanoma, which is a tumor on my pituitary gland.  Primary symptom is very low testosterone.   Any one here have any experience with this?  I'm seeing a nuroendocrinologist in May.  Standard treatment is medication to shrink the tumor.  Surgery if that doesn't work. I appreciate any insight others may have.   Thanks

Thank you very much.  Thankfully it's a very slow growing tumor and surprisingly common.  Many people don't even know they have one.  Because of her psychological training, my wife insisted on a MRI of my brain, if she hadn't I don't think we would have caught it until it was much bigger and causing additional symptoms.
