Bill D 2,840 #1 Posted April 24 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 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 46,452 #5 Posted April 25 I had a enlarged parathyroid gland (Tumor) back in 2019-/20 during Covid. Raised my calcium level to dangerous levels. Was a fun time trying to get it taken care of with everything going on. But I had this great woman surgeon and it was a piece of cake to get it removed. Turned out it was benign. As a reward I got a great fresh scar on my neck for my retirement pic from BOCES! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
