What Causes Dizziness After Surgery For Carcinoma Removal?
my husband just had a prolactinoma removed from the pituitary...he also had a carcinoid removed from the small bowel and a renal cell carcinoma removed from the kidney. His biggest complaint through all of this was vertigo...it seems to have ended the full blown attacks, but he still has lightheadedness and dizziness...his prolactin level is still 126 after surgery...could that be the cause of the dizziness?

Hello,
Dizziness can be due to many causes. These include a problem with ear or brain. A detailed neurological and ENT examination is needed. Blood tests for hemoglobin, sodium and vitamin B12 should also be checked. Low BP can also cause dizziness.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
