1. Damage to the surrounding structures of the tumor: After the tumor enlarges, it invades and compresses the important surrounding structures, such as optic nerve, cavernous sinus, fundic artery, hypothalamus, third ventricle, brain stem, etc., which leads to corresponding dysfunction, manifesting as vision loss, visual field loss, hemiparesis, eye fixation, diplopia, intellectual memory impairment, mental change, headache, hydrocephalus, etc.
Endocrine disorders: Pituitary tumors with secretory function secrete hormone hyperactivity, resulting in increased PRL, GH, ACTH, TSH and other hormones, which cause menstrual disorders, lactation, miscarriage, infertility, hypogonadism, obesity, ugly face, gigantism, enlarged hands and feet, increased hair, rough skin, etc.; those with hypopituitarism show weakness and fear of cold, etc.
3, metabolic disorders: low blood potassium, sodium, chloride, calcium, weakness, vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal distension, multiple spontaneous fractures throughout the body ribs and vertebral bones are common. Immune function is low: easy to catch a cold, prone to cancer. Psychological stress. Pituitary adenoma can occur at any age, but it is more likely to occur in young adults. Since pituitary tumor has serious damage to human growth, development, body and mind, fertility, and the function of multiple organs of the body, it should be actively treated early after suffering from pituitary tumor disease 4. Multi-organ damage: Pituitary hormone hypersecretion causes damage to many organ functions, such as heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, cerebral arteriosclerosis, and cerebral blood supply deficiency.
Knowing the causes of pituitary tumor, we all need to keep ourselves away from the causes of pituitary tumor, so that we can avoid getting pituitary tumor and suffering from physical and mental harm, we must actively take some methods to keep away from and deal with pituitary tumor.
