How to Treat Pituitary Prolactinoma in Men

Pituitary prolactinomas in men are almost always macroadenomas, and treatment includes medication, surgery and radiation therapy. 1. Drug treatment: commonly used drugs include bromocriptine, carbamazole, quinagolide and so on. The use of specific drugs should be under the guidance of doctors. 2. Surgery: It is suitable for macroadenomas that are not well treated by medication or cannot adhere to medication for a long period of time. Commonly used surgical methods include transfrontal pituitary tumor major resection, transsphenoidal selective pituitary resection and so on. 3. Radiation therapy: it is suitable for the situation that the prolactin level does not decrease after the operation and the tumor tissue remains. It is recommended that male patients with pituitary prolactinoma should seek medical treatment in time, and choose the appropriate treatment plan according to their own conditions under the guidance of doctors.
