Hello doctor,
I got an MRI done due to severe headaches, and I was diagnosed with pituitary adenoma. So, I consulted a neurosurgeon, who suggested some scans. Everything was normal according to him. He later said that the tumor is tiny almost 1 cm, and he asked me to wait and see. If any problem persists, then he will see later. But recently, I am having mild headaches and fear that it may turn into a big problem. Kindly suggest what to do.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- If the tumor is smaller than 1 cm and all your hormonal tests are normal, then serial observation is the preferred treatment. In these cases, no surgery is needed.
- Mild headaches may not be related to the adenoma. Kindly follow the advice of your treating neurosurgeon.
Best wishes.

Thank you doctor,
Is this condition serious? I mean, is it life-threatening or cancerous?
