A pituitary tumor sounds alarming — but most are benign, and only about 1 in 1,000 actually require treatment.
That said, even benign tumors can disrupt your entire hormonal system — causing your body to produce too much of certain hormones, or damaging the gland so it produces too little.
Symptoms to watch for:
→ Vision loss or loss of peripheral vision
→ Double vision or eye changes
→ Hearing loss
→ Balance problems
→ Changes in swallowing or speech
If any of these sound familiar, it may be time to talk
to a specialist.
NYU Langone Health is one of the country's leading pituitary tumor treatment centers — with a team that includes neurosurgeons, endocrinologists, and neuro-ophthalmologists working together on your care.
