whats your opinion on SMALL pituitary tumors

I have been undiagnosed for 2 years. Doctors claim my small tumor(2mm) is not causing me problems. my primary care is the only one who believes me, but she cant do surgery on me sadly. I have horrible symptoms all the time..including blurry vision!

my primary care doctor said it best. she said the pituitary is so small to begin with that even a small tuimor is proportionally as big as a brain tumor is in other areeas og the brain

Thanks for your reply. I wonder why doctors are so reluctant to consider that there may be a reason for someone to suffer from a multitude of symptoms. Also why do they look at you with suspicion when you ask what the normal range is?
I was told by one endo that there was no point in doing an MRI as the tumour can be too small to see, or if one was spotted it wouldn't be causing my symptoms as all the cortisol levels are within the 'normal range'.
