If a woman's pituitary tumor is not treated thoroughly, or if relevant prevention measures are not taken after treatment, recurrence symptoms may occur. Once you find yourself showing signs of recurrence, you should seek medical attention immediately and take scientific prevention and treatment measures to protect your health. So, what abnormal symptoms will occur after a woman's pituitary tumor recurs? Let's take a closer look.

1. Headache: The first symptom of recurrence of pituitary tumor in women is headache, because pituitary tumor can easily damage cranial nerves, leading to paroxysmal or persistent headache.

2. Visual impairment: If the pituitary tumor is larger after recurrence, it may compress the optic nerve and cause symptoms of visual impairment. It is recommended to perform tumor resection immediately after no contraindications occur to avoid worsening of the condition and endangering health.

3. Ptosis: In addition to visual impairment, most patients also experience ptosis, which may also be accompanied by diplopia, extraocular muscle paralysis, paresthesia, coma, nausea and vomiting.
