What can cause a pituarity gland tumour and how can you prevent it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many causes: There are many causes of a pituitary tumor. For example, you could have a prolactinoma which secretes the hormone prolactin. There are both medical and surgical treatments for it. You need to get blood work done to first evaluate it followed by an MRI to see what the size is.
