In practice, we have encountered many patients with pituitary tumors. A common feature of these patients is that they are diagnosed with pituitary tumors only when their symptoms are very severe. There are two most common cases: 1. Treatment as gynecological disease. Many young women with irregular menstruation, overflowing breast, and inability to have children have been seen in obstetrics and gynecology, and still cannot recover after many treatments.
2.Treat as eye disease. Many patients present with progressive vision loss, repeated visits to the ophthalmology department, and eventually go blind. The above two cases are usually found in health institutions below county level hospitals, who do not know much about pituitary tumor as a disease, so they ignore some examinations, and as a result, the disease is delayed and some of them cause irreversible damage. So to remind patients with the above symptoms, when the doctor does not give you relevant tests, you can remind the doctor to give you a head CT and check a sex hormone test, which can usually be diagnosed.
