Patient: I am 23 years old, male, and was diagnosed with pituitary tumor at Taihe Hospital in Shiyan in March 2008. The main symptoms at that time were visual impairment in my left eye, height of only 155cm, no beard and no laryngeal node. In the same month, he was treated by surgery at the hospital. It has been 4 years since the surgery, but the doctor said the tumor was under control, but there was no change in height, and he still had no laryngeal nodes and no beard. This year, I had a mid-term prolactin value of 260 and a sex hormone value of only 0.0 in the endocrinology department of Xi’an Xijing Hospital. After taking bromocriptine for a year, the prolactin has decreased. I would like to ask the doctor, can I take other medications and can my height and male characteristics be improved Beijing Tiantan Hospital Neurosurgery Department: Unfortunately, there is not much room for improvement.
Patient: Can I take some testosterone and growth hormone? Neurosurgery Department, Beijing Tiantan Hospital: I personally don’t recommend it. Patient: What should I do now?
Neurosurgery Department, Beijing Tiantan Hospital: Fight for it, try to treat it and get the bromocriptine level to normal.
Patient: Thank you Dr. Yuan!
Neurosurgery Department, Beijing Tiantan Hospital: You are welcome!
