I am Dr. Prasad Akole (Critical Care Expert- http://bit.ly/Dr-Prasad-Akole) and am glad to address to your query here.
A pituitary microadenoma can cause symptoms by
1) Its hormonal effects – some can be managed with medicines.
2) Its pressure effects on surrounding structures due to expanding size- causing pain, numbness, visual disturbances (hemi-anopias), headaches, imbalance etc.
Serious pressure effects or bleed into the tumour (apoplexy) can be fatal.
Since you have symptoms of pressure, I would advise you to consult a XXXXXXX neurosurgeon and get operated if they feel it is operable.
A cosmetic surgery through the nose (trans-sphenoid resection of the pituitary) is usually done, if possible or else open skull surgery.
Hormonal effects are to be managed with medications.
Medicines do not reduce tumour size significantly.
I advise you not to waste much time.
It would greatly help if you could upload the MRI / reports here using the uploading service available on this site just below the text box. You can email the reports / scans to
