For pituitary microadenomas caused by high prolactin, after diagnosis, we can cooperate with doctors to choose medication, radiation therapy, surgery and other ways to relieve the disease.
1. Drug treatment: the main purpose is to control hormone level, improve patient’s symptoms and reduce tumor size, but there is no effective drug to cure the disease. However, patients can take bromocriptine, cabergoline, growth inhibitor receptor ligand and other drugs to improve their symptoms.
2. Radiation therapy: For patients who have tumor recurrence after surgery or who are too old and weak to tolerate surgery, they can also cooperate with doctors to choose ultra-high pressure irradiation therapy to improve the prognosis of patients.
3. Surgery: Most of the pituitary microadenomas do not need transcranial surgery, but when the microadenomas develop into macroadenomas, the patients need to cooperate with doctors for further surgery.
It is recommended that patients with pituitary microadenomas caused by high prolactin should standardize the treatment with doctors to reduce the adverse effects of the disease.
