Symptoms of pituitary gland abnormalities in women

The pituitary gland plays an important role in the human body and is of key significance to physical health. Many people do not understand the symptoms of pituitary gland abnormalities in women. This will not only cause great harm to the patient's physical health, but also seriously affect their normal life and work. Therefore, it is particularly important to have a certain understanding of this situation. If relevant symptoms are found, medical treatment should be sought in time.

1. The first is the space-occupying effect of the lesion and the manifestation of compression of surrounding tissues. For example, compression of the diaphragm sellae can cause severe headaches, compression of the optic chiasm can cause visual impairment and visual field defects, compression of the hypothalamus can cause abnormal sleep, appetite, and temperature regulation, autonomic nervous system dysfunction, precocious puberty, diabetes insipidus, etc., and compression of cranial nerves can cause corresponding neurological signs. Second, functional endocrine tumors can cause corresponding symptoms of excessive hormone secretion. For women, growth hormone tumors can lead to acromegaly and gigantism, and prolactinomas can cause infertility, amenorrhea-galactorrhea syndrome, etc.

When abnormalities occur, such as 1.: Insufficient vasopressin released by the pituitary gland, diabetes insipidus will occur. Under normal circumstances, vasopressin causes the body to retain fluid; without vasopressin, the body loses fluid and the patient excretes large amounts of watery urine (up to 15 kilograms per day). This urine does not contain sugar, unlike that of diabetics. Other symptoms include frequent dry mouth and craving for ice water.

2. Hypopituitarism is caused by the pituitary gland producing too little hormone. This can lead to conditions like sexual dysplasia, infertility, adrenal insufficiency, hypothyroidism, etc. If pituitary function suddenly and severely decreases, it can be life-threatening.

3. Secrete growth hormone. Generally, if a woman is not affected, her height can grow until she is 25 years old. Especially after menarche, her growth reaches a vigorous stage. It is recommended that you:

1. Food and nutrition. Nutrition has seven major elements: protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, water, fiber, and minerals, none of which can be missing.

2. Exercise is an important condition for human development. Exercise is not the same as labor. The latter's repetitive movements are not beneficial to your height. Exercises to increase height should be completely coordinated exercises that promote physical development.

4. Other factors. Lifestyle, kneeling, sleeping posture, and even furniture height are all related to height. Thick and hard bedding affects blood circulation. A combination of work and rest, medical treatment and a good psychological quality are helpful. Drink less alcohol and more water~~

I hope you will be healthy soon.

I suggest you take a B-ultrasound to see if you have ovarian cysts. Because endocrine abnormalities can easily cause this disease, if prolactin is high, it may also be a pituitary tumor, and a brain CT scan will be needed to determine whether it is a pituitary tumor. Both ovarian cysts and pituitary tumors can cause amenorrhea. Of course, a bad mood can also cause amenorrhea, so it is also important to maintain a good mood. The best way to regulate menstruation is to eat tonic food. Taking too many medicines will harm your body.
