What are the situations of metastasis of pituitary tumors

Pituitary tumors seriously threaten people's health. Some patients often miss the best time for treatment when treating the disease, which leads to the metastasis of pituitary tumors. In serious cases, it may lead to death. However, some people still don't know much about this knowledge. So today we will learn about the symptoms of pituitary tumor metastasis.

Experts say that patients often suffer from severe dehydration and a sharp weight loss. Vomiting with infratentorial tumors usually occurs earlier and is more severe than with supratentorial tumors. This is due to the stimulation of the medullary center, vestibular nerves, vagus nerves, etc. Pediatric patients often have only repeated vomiting as their only symptom of pituitary tumors. Vomiting is one of the main symptoms of pituitary tumors, occurring in about two-thirds of pituitary tumor patients. Symptoms of pituitary tumors are common when there is a severe headache, often accompanied by nausea, and vomiting is often projectile. In severe cases, patients cannot eat and vomit immediately after eating.

Headache is the earliest and most common symptom of pituitary tumors, seen in 82% to 90% of patients, with different degrees for each patient. It is intermittent at first, more and heavier in the morning when awake and at night. Symptoms of pituitary tumors are mostly pulsating dull pain or distending pain in the forehead or both temporal regions, which becomes continuous. Coughing, exerting force, sneezing, leaning over, and lowering the head can aggravate the symptoms of pituitary tumors. Because the skull of children is not closed, the cranial sutures separate when the intracranial pressure increases, so they may not have headaches, but only complain of dizziness. Headaches are often ineffective with general analgesics, but are effectively treated with dehydrating agents.

In summary, through a series of studies, we know the symptoms of pituitary tumor metastasis, and we have a more comprehensive understanding of this disease. Therefore, in our daily life, we must take various preventive measures. If we find ourselves feeling unwell, we should go to the hospital as soon as possible for various related examinations.
