Enlarged Pituitary Gland

Recommended Posts

After having a MRI scan have been told I have an enlarged pituitary gland. Has anyone else had/got one of these?

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.

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.

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.

then leave the medical information to the neurosurgeon, who will be able to answer all your questions correctly and probably give you a load of literature too.

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.
