Health Query

How would a diagnosis of both a benign pituitary tumor (microadenoma) and arrhythmia generally affect life expectancy and general health in the future for a 25 year old female? Of course this will depend very much on the specifics of each case, but should you in the average case expect to be able to live a full normal life? My understanding is that both conditions generally can be treated quite well separately, but is this no longer the case when being diagnosed with both simultaneously?

Almost all pituitary tumors are benign (not cancer) glandular tumors called pituitary adenomas. These tumors are called benign because they don't spread to other parts of the body, like cancers can. Pituitary cancers (called pituitary carcinomas) are very rare. But we have to look into the details of the problem.
Let's have a detailed discussion to Ensure proper treatment.

Asked for female, 24 years old from Secunderabad

My question is if I use medicine and get my prolactin levels to normal will my tumour in my pituitary gland disappear if prolactin level gets balanced?

Dr. Jayvirsinh Chauhan93%(35817 ratings)

MD - Homeopathy, BHMS

Homeopath•Vadodara

Prolactin levels are increased because there is a tumor... Tumor is not because of prolactin.
So taking medicine for prolactin is never going to help.
Better take homoeopathic treatment to cure tumor and prolactin levels will come back normal on its own.
