How to treat pituitary tumors

For a disease like pituitary tumor, daily care is very important. Everyone knows that the disease is cured easily. For this disease, although medicine continues to advance and the success rate of surgical treatment is getting higher and higher, the body needs a recovery process after surgery. The most important thing at this time is to get enough rest and eat a healthy diet. So, let’s take a look at the specific methods of care for pituitary tumors.

1. Psychological comfort. Pituitary tumors are benign brain tumors. Surgery is effective and patients can work normally after recovery. Therefore, patients with pituitary tumors do not need to have too heavy a psychological burden.

2. Eliminate the patient's fear, anxiety, and even despair. Explain the purpose of the surgery to the patient in a timely manner, list the cases of cure, arrange to talk with the patient who has undergone surgery and has good results, so that the patient can build up confidence in overcoming the disease.

3. Strengthen physical exercise, enhance your physical fitness, improve resistance to disease, enhance immune function, and prevent viral infection.

4. Reduce and avoid exposure to radioactive radiation, especially during the bone development period of adolescents.

5. Strengthen nutrition. Patients with pituitary tumors should strengthen nutrition after surgery, eat more fresh, high-protein foods, strengthen their physical fitness, and make the body recover soon after the disease. Radiotherapy is generally used for patients with pituitary tumors who cannot undergo complete resection or other special circumstances. The radiotherapy time is generally about 1 month after surgery. During radiotherapy, go to public places less, pay attention to nutrition, and measure blood counts regularly.

6. Take medicine as prescribed by the doctor. Patients with pituitary tumors should take medicine as prescribed by the doctor and have regular checkups. Generally, a CT or MRI checkup is done once a year.
