Does a 9MM pituitary tumor require surgery?

1. Generally speaking, a pituitary tumor of 9 mm requires surgery. 9 mm is a relatively large adenoma that can easily occupy a position, but it may also compress organs and cause other diseases. Drug control is basically ineffective and requires effective surgical removal.

2. Pituitary tumors are generally benign tumors, which can cause adverse conditions such as headaches or visual impairment in severe cases. If the adenoma is small, it usually does not cause other physical symptoms. Patients can take bromocriptine tablets, cabergoline tablets and cyproheptadine tablets under the guidance of a doctor to control it. For large pituitary tumors, surgical resection is required for thorough treatment.

3. In addition to timely treatment, patients with pituitary tumors also need to pay attention to maintaining adequate sleep time, proper physical exercise, and improving their resistance. At the same time, patients should also drink enough water to avoid constipation, which will lead to increased intracranial pressure. In their daily diet, patients should mainly eat light and easily digestible foods, and eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, such as oranges, strawberries, apples, etc.
