T Pituitary Tumors

T Pituitary tumors are abnormal growths that develop in the pituitary gland, a small structure at the base of the brain responsible for hormone production. These tumors are usually benign (non-cancerous) and can affect hormone levels, leading to symptoms like vision problems, headaches, or hormonal imbalances. Some tumors produce excess hormones, causing specific health issues, while others may not produce hormones and might be discovered during imaging tests for unrelated issues. Treatment options include medication, surgery, or radiation, depending on the tumor's size and activity. Regular medical evaluation ensures appropriate management and symptom control.
