Many couples are plagued by infertility. Some of them have irregular menstruation or even amenorrhea in their wives, and they turn to obstetrics and gynecology to solve their infertility problems. Some couples want to have a second child, but their husbands find themselves unable to do so because of their declining sexual function. Experts say that if such a problem arises, beware of pituitary tumors. What are the signs and symptoms of pituitary tumors? Pituitary tumor is a common brain tumor with an incidence of about 10% of the population, which means that about one out of every ten people will develop pituitary tumor, but less than 1% of the population in this category will show clinical manifestations that require clinical observation and treatment. If symptoms do appear, the main danger is that they may cause overproduction or underproduction of endocrine hormones such as growth hormone, gonadotropin and lactogen, which may manifest as infertility or multiple miscarriages in women, gigantism in children, and impotence in men. In what group of people do pituitary tumors occur? In terms of age group, people aged 20-40 are the most common, accounting for 40% of the incidence. And the incidence rate is four times higher in women than in men. Many female patients suffer from irregular menstruation, less and less menstrual flow, and easy mental fatigue, which has been thought to be due to excessive stress leading to delayed illness. What are the precursors of pituitary tumors in women? If a woman has a pituitary tumor, 80% of women will experience menstrual changes and lactation symptoms. If you experience unexplained breast milk production, you should be alerted to the possibility of lactogenic adenoma, a pituitary tumor. Some women with pituitary tumors also show excessive obesity and stretch marks on the abdomen, accompanied by elevated blood sugar and blood pressure; some women with ugly appearance, enlarged hands and feet, or habitual miscarriage after marriage should also be alerted to the possibility of pituitary tumors. The hospital has a strong pituitary tumor treatment team, which has treated thousands of pituitary tumor cases since its establishment. The scope of treatment includes various types of pituitary tumors such as prolactinomas (PRL tumors), growth hormone tumors (GH tumors), adrenocorticotropic hormone tumors (ACTH tumors), thyrotropic hormone tumors (TSH tumors) and mixed and unclassified adenomas. Most patients with prolactinomas can be controlled with medication. Some patients are concerned about the side effects of medications, but the current medications for controlling pituitary tumors have fewer side effects. It is also important to start with a small dose of medication and to adjust the dose frequently early on according to the condition. Some primary care doctors do not standardize medication and give patients high doses at the beginning leading to vomiting and other conditions. As a result, treatment is difficult to adhere to. Men have no sexual interest? For men, if they are young and strong “leftover men” always do not fall in love, the opposite sex is not “sexual interest”, while the decline in sexual function, and finally “a stumble” should be alert to Pituitary tumor. The common male sexual dysfunction is mostly intermittent, while pituitary tumor is generally only worse and worse, and finally impotence. In addition, pituitary tumors can also manifest as a loss of vision and a narrowing of the visual field, so that you cannot see to the left or right. How are pituitary tumors in children treated? Most children with pituitary tumors are very short, but a few grow very tall. Treatment of pituitary tumors in children should be very careful and should be thoroughly evaluated by experienced endocrinologists, pediatricians and neurosurgeons. Treatment of pituitary tumors is not standardized enough in some primary care hospitals. Inappropriate treatment not only does not result in good control of the tumor, but also affects the secretion of pituitary hormones, resulting in serious impairment of growth, fertility and quality of life.
