Do patients with pituitary tumors give birth first or have surgery first?

  Q: 1. I heard people say that it is better not to do surgery before giving birth to a child, but I also understand that the tumor will calcify after using the medicine, which will affect the next step of surgery, is this true? 2. When an infertile woman is treated with medicine to control her prolactin, then she gets pregnant and stops the medicine after a certain period of time, when she is about to give birth, or the tumor grows too big and presses on the optic nerve causing the risk of blindness, or the prolactin rises due to stopping the medicine and affects the fetus, causing stillbirth or abnormalities, induction of labor, scraping or miscarriage. Or abnormal, induced labor, scraping, miscarriage, is also true?3. The above situation will bring great pain to patients who are ready to have a child, how to treat the disease well, make their own health and have a healthy baby!  Answer: The first and second question you asked does exist. Whether to have a baby or surgery first must be based on a comprehensive analysis of various situations such as tumor size, patient’s age, PRL level, sensitivity of drugs, and the level of the surgeon. There is absolutely no generalization. Generally speaking, it is better to operate before pregnancy for tumors with a volume of 1 cm or more; for those who have high PRL levels that are difficult to control by medication, surgery can be performed first to lower PRL levels; those who are not sensitive to medication or have high medication side effects need surgery. If you are in an environment where medical conditions are not good and the level of doctors is very limited, surgery and no surgery are almost the same, so you should use medicine.
