Patient's question:
My menstrual flow has always been very light, which has been causing me a lot of distress. A friend told me that this is because I have developed a pituitary tumor, a condition that leads to a decrease in menstrual flow. What can be done about a pituitary tumor and reduced menstrual flow?Doctor's answer:
Pituitary tumors can be divided into macroadenomas and microadenomas. A macroadenoma refers to a pituitary tumor larger than 1 cm in size. Most cases can lead to elevated prolactin levels, which may interfere with menstruation, causing symptoms such as reduced menstrual flow and irregular cycles. It is recommended that you visit a local reputable neurosurgery department for a follow-up examination to confirm the diagnosis and receive treatment tailored to your specific condition. Wishing you good health!Gynecological diseases are a type of gynecological condition that is prone to occur.
