Question 3

i have/ had pituitary adenoma. in boston i got it checked, it was first 3 mm and then 5 mm. i got a scan done in south carolina which came clear. the endocrinologist says that it can't be gone. is it possible that i might have men?

Accepted Answer

Low risk MEN: Almost all patients with men have hyperparathyroidism. If you don't have that and there's no family history of anyone with the characteristic conditions associated with men, then it's highly likely you do not have men. Without treatment it's unlikely for a pituitary tumor to disappear unless it was incorrectly interpreted by the previous radiologists/physicians. Make sure you have a yearly MRI at.

Question 6

is penthosan available in south africa ?

Accepted Answer

Pentosan : In the USA it is under the brand name Elmiron, (used mainly for interstitial cystitis in the US).  South Africa is a developed nation, and I would be surprised if it did not have it there. However call CDC, in Atlanta to find out for sure.
