Q: Which Doctor Should I consult for Pituitary Tumors?
A: Making a diagnosis can be quite complicated when it comes to pituitary tumors, so it is impossible for you to arrive at a diagnosis yourself. If you are worried about your risk or believe that you may be experiencing symptoms of the condition, consult your general physician and provide him with detailed information on your symptoms, past health conditions and your family’s medical history. Your doctor will recommend the necessary tests if he suspects a pituitary tumor or may also recommend you to an endocrinologist and neurosurgeon.
Q: Should I be worried about a pituitary tumor without symptoms?
A: Your doctors and other health care providers will be best equipped to gauge the risks and provide you with an informed decision on the need for treatment or surgery. It would be wise to seek a second opinion as there are many cases in which the tumor causes no symptoms at all and the condition is not even diagnosed during the person’s lifetime.
