Pituitary Adenomas

A pituitary adenoma is a benign (noncancerous) tumor that grows on the pituitary gland, a small organ located at the base of the brain. Pituitary adenomas can cause production of hormones to be unbalanced, leading to symptoms that can range from mild to severe. Treatment of pituitary adenomas is important, as they can lead to serious health problems, including vision loss, growth issues, and infertility. Certain medications and/or surgery may be necessary to address pituitary adenomas and relieve the associated symptoms. It is important to seek medical attention if you are experiencing any symptoms that could be related to a pituitary adenoma.
