What kind of people are prone to pituitary tumors?

Pituitary tumors usually occur in adolescent males and women of childbearing age. They are harmful to the body and require timely treatment.

1. Adolescent males: Because adolescent males are in a critical stage of puberty, a large amount of hormones are secreted in their bodies, and they may have excessive secretion of male hormones, which increases the risk of pituitary tumors.

2. Women of childbearing age: Women of childbearing age are in the childbearing stage, which generally leads to an increase in hormone levels in the body. When the secretion of estrogen increases or the secretion of androgen becomes vigorous, pituitary tumors are likely to form.

Most pituitary tumors are benign tumors, mainly caused by abnormal hormone secretion in the body and compression of the pituitary tumor. Symptoms usually include polydipsia, polyuria and thirst, as well as extraocular muscle paralysis and a sharp decrease in vision. The possibility of headaches, coma or nausea cannot be ruled out. You need to go to the hospital and cooperate with the doctor to do imaging examinations to determine the size of the tumor. If the size is relatively large, you need to cooperate with the doctor in time for surgical removal treatment, which can reduce the impact of the pituitary tumor. After the operation, you need to enhance your body's disease resistance, eat more light and nutritious foods, and during the recovery period, you need to prevent the wound from being infected by bacteria or fungi.
