Pituitary gland/ Hypothalamus

[jlrosado]

I have pain in the back of my head, the lower center of my head. The affects are a sudden need for movement and irritability. However, it is not a striking pain, it's more of a disturbing sudden sensation. I've dealt with this for a few years on and off. Also, I have a problem with my menstruation cycle which is affected by the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland; this in turn causes skin pigmentation along with facial hair growth, I'm a woman. Please Help!!! I'm more concerned about the pain in the back of my head near the brain stem. Hence, I feel like the other situation is somewhat intertwined with the pain in the back of my head.


Hope the information given is sufficient for you to help me!

Thank You,

You need to talk to your doctor about an MRI or a CT scan. That would address the pain in the back of the head, and get an excellant look at the pituitary gland.

There are blood tests that could be run as well.
Have you ever seen an Endocrinologist?

I'm not well versed on the Pituitary gland, but I know there are several blood tests that could answer some questions quickly. You just need a doctor that knows which tests to do.
