Why do I need hormone medication after pituitary tumor surgery? Do I have to take them for life?

  Patient: Lactational amenorrhea, lactation was discovered about 3 years ago, no amenorrhea at that time, amenorrhea appeared in early 2008, and I often have sore eyes. I heard that I have to use hormone medication like prednisone after the surgery, why? Will I take the medication for life?  Doctor: After the surgery, there will be a short period of hormone depression, so it is necessary to supplement appropriately. Generally, the supplementation time is within a few weeks, and the medication can be stopped as one’s own secretion ability recovers.
