See the right doc: Would certainly need to know more about what has been done. You should be seeing an endocrinologist and should consult with a neurosurgeon about possible removal.

Go see your doctor..: If you haven't already, go see an endocrinologist, someone who specializes in hormone issues. I'm not talking about anti-aging or age management stuff but a board-certified physician who's completed a 3yr fellowship in endocrinology, not just a series of courses over a few weekends. Most likely, you have a prolactinoma but regardless, your options are medication vs surgery. Consider uofut som.

Cushing's?: Hi. The only pituitary tumor likely to unify your symptoms is an ACTH-producing corticotrophin adenoma causing Cushing's disease. Do you have hirsutism? Purple stretch marks on your tummy and breasts? If it's not a Cushing's tumor, the symptoms may or may not be related to the tumor. Some pituitary tumors cause no problems at all. Talk with your doc about the plan to go forward. Good luck!
