medusa   16 #7 Posted June 11, 2010 Can you stop trying to make a joke out of this please? The OP asked a serious question and just mentioning the word 'gland' doesn't make a potentially serious medical question anything to laugh about.

Alien   10 #8 Posted June 12, 2010 Yes mel...stop being a dick.  Anyway back to post#4. Loopylass, did you get any form of consultation after the scan? It seems an enlarged pituitary gland can be caused by many things and the outcome can be significantly different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

No I didnt I went for a scan for something else and they found this so had to go for another. I am waiting to see a neurosurgeon.

medusa   16 #11 Posted June 12, 2010 In many cases there's nothing at all harmful from having an enlarged pituitary gland, but there are a number of hormonal conditions which could be related to this so your neurosurgeon will work out whether this is a 'something' or a 'nothing' and unfortunately you're in the middle and will worry whichever way round it turns out to be.

Thanks for that but i didnt think it hurt asking if anyone else has/had this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
