Good. You should get to a pituitary center.
Pituitary symptoms are more like being a couch potato, and so many go undiagnosed for years, It took me over 12 years to get help even with the tumor seen.
Thanks for the information!
My GP is not going to treat me, I assume she's just going to get the ball rolling and refer me to a specialist. And I do have a small macroadenoma, not micro. I'm not sure what the dimensions are but that's what the opthomologist wrote down for me.
I definitely have some subtle symptoms like the hair loss thing and fatigue but thought those were attributed to recently having had a baby. So many things are starting to make sense now regarding my health! It's almost a relief.
If the tumor is under 10mm, it is called a micro-adenoma. Is your over 10mm?
In any case, you need to see a neuro-endocrinologist. You need to get testing to find out what kind of tumor this is. Your GP is not qualified to treat this tumor. They are pretty difficult to test and treat.
As for pregnancy, the pituitary controls your hormones. If your hormones are off, it may be more difficult. Yes, treatment changes a bit if you want children still as the surgeon may be less aggressive but then the tumor may keep coming back and you may have repeated surgeries. Some tumors can be treated with medications so you have to know what type of tumor this is. You may think you have no symptoms, but hormones are more subtle - fatigue, acne, aches, lactation, lack of libido, hair loss, etc, can be symptoms.
