Pituitary tumor is a tumor that has become more common in recent years. Many patients with pituitary tumors will unconsciously worry about their survival period when they are diagnosed with pituitary tumors. They are always worried that they will not live long. So today we will talk to you about this issue. How long is the survival period of pituitary tumors?

First, let us understand whether pituitary tumor is a fatal disease? Pituitary tumor is a benign tumor. The patient can survive without treatment, but in the later stages, life is worse than death, such as blindness, headache, loss of sexual function, etc. If the tumor occupancy is not resolved, it will cause delirium, loss of consciousness under constant pressure, and eventually death from multiple organ failure.
