How can we say that a pituitary tumor has been cured?

Pituitary tumors are very harmful. People with pituitary tumors try all kinds of methods to treat them, but many people don’t know how to cure pituitary tumors. They worry every day whether they will have another attack. I have collected a lot of information. Now let’s learn about how to cure pituitary tumors!

If you want to know what it means to cure a pituitary tumor, let's take a look at the symptoms of pituitary tumor patients:

1. Headache: The headache is usually severe and often occurs in the early morning. Sometimes the patient wakes up from sleep with pain, but the headache will gradually ease or disappear after getting up and doing some light activity.

2. Vomiting: Due to the increase in intracranial pressure, the respiratory center in the medulla oblongata is stimulated, resulting in vomiting. Vomiting often occurs after a headache and is in the form of a jet.

3. Visual impairment: When the intracranial pressure increases, the venous blood return of the eyeball will be blocked, leading to congestion and edema, damaging the visual cells on the retina of the fundus, and causing decreased vision.

4. Mental abnormalities: Brain tumors located in the frontal lobe of the brain can destroy the mental activities of the frontal lobe, causing abnormal mental manifestations such as excitement, agitation, depression, repression, amnesia, and fabrication.

5. Unilateral limb paresthesia: The parietal lobe, located in the middle of the cerebral hemisphere, is responsible for sensation. Symptoms of pituitary tumors in this area often lead to decreased or absent sensations of pain, temperature, vibration, and body shape in one side of the limb.

6. Olfactory hallucination: Tumors in the temporal lobe may cause olfactory hallucinations, that is, the smell of an odor that does not exist, such as burnt rice or burnt rubber.

7. Hemiplegia or staggering gait: Cerebellar lesions are more specific, that is, patients often experience hemiplegia or staggering gait of drunkenness after headache, vomiting, and visual impairment.

8. Tinnitus and deafness: This is often found when making a phone call, that is, one ear can hear but the other ear cannot. This symptom of pituitary tumor is often a precursor to acoustic neuroma.

9. Gigantism: It is often seen in pituitary tumors. The patient grows rapidly and develops acromegaly (large chin, big nose, enlarged lips and tongue, and abnormally large hands and feet).

10. Growth and development of young children stops: common in craniopharyngioma. Symptoms of pituitary tumors are that the body of a 15- or 16-year-old is only 5 or 6 years old, sexual characteristics are not developed, and the belly is full of fat, which makes him look like a "premature obesity".

If you no longer feel any of the above symptoms, it means that the pituitary tumor is cured. In normal times, patients should strengthen physical exercise, enhance their physical fitness, improve their resistance to diseases, enhance their immune function and prevent viral infections. Then the pituitary tumor can be easily cured.
