A member asked:
Does a tumor in your pituritary gland affect your chances of conceiving?

It Can: Yes that is possible. If it makes higher amounts of hormones that can affect ovulation. Also if it is larger it can affect Dopamine and interfere with other hormone signalling. Most do not have any major effect.

It May: Some pituitary tumors can affect hormonal balance and cause infertility, menstrual changes, and even breast milk production. A primary doctor may refer patients experiencing these problems to an endocrinologist, neurosurgeon, or even radiation oncologist to treat the tumor and help restore hormonal balance and fertility.
