The main methods of pituitary tumor are as follows:
1.Surgery**:
Surgical resection of the tumor is the most direct and effective method, mainly including transnasal endoscopic minimally invasive surgery and craniotomy, the former through neuroendoscopy into the nostril for surgical removal of pituitary adenoma, the operation time is short, safe and effective, no incision, no scar, but not suitable for too much growth of tumors to the sella, the latter is a traditional craniotomy. The specific type of surgery depends on the decision of an experienced pituitary tumor doctor.
2.Medications**:
For some hormone-secreting pituitary tumors, such as prolactinoma, medications** are often effective in controlling hormone levels, helping to shrink the tumor and improve symptoms. However, these drugs are usually used for a long time, and the tumor may grow again after the drug is stopped. 3.Radiation**:
For some pituitary tumors, such as tumors that cannot be removed or cannot be surgically removed, radiation may be necessary. Radiation** can usually reduce the size of the tumor or stop its growth. Radiation** is the unavoidable choice for many refractory pituitary tumors, and it is not the first choice for pituitary tumors, so it should be carefully chosen.
In any case, if you are unfortunate enough to have this disease, don't panic, go to the doctor indiscriminately, maintain a good attitude, face up to your disease, find a regular tertiary hospital with a good reputation in neurosurgery in the province and a doctor with rich experience in pituitary tumor surgery, communicate more, and most of them can be safe**!
