What is the treatment for pituitary hyperprolactinoma?
Dosing instructions: I have been taking bromocriptine for more than two weeks. At first I took half a tablet every night before bed, and after a week it was changed to twice a day, half a tablet in the morning and half a tablet in the evening. It is now the third week and I have symptoms of dizziness, confusion and nausea.
Everything is normal for me after the operation. Since March this year, I have been experiencing delayed menstruation and double breast overflow, and when I went to Beijing for a review in August this year, I found that there were symptoms of recurrence of the previous disease. My question to Dr. Xu is: Is there any more effective treatment method without medication? If I take half a tablet in the morning and half a tablet in the evening, I can still respond, but if I increase the dosage, my body will not be able to bear it. If there is a better treatment method, I would like to go for treatment during winter break. Thank you!
If the symptoms do not improve significantly after 1 to 3 months of bromelain treatment, and the tumor does not shrink significantly, or if the side effects of the drug are not tolerated, surgery can be chosen as the treatment method, and the specific treatment method should be based on the patient’s condition. You can see me directly when you come over during winter vacation.
If the tumor does not expand significantly, you can wait until winter break. Pituitary tumors are benign tumors that generally do not grow quickly and will not be life-threatening when completely cured.
