A member asked:
Is there a way to truly confirm if you have a rare lh secreting gonadotropin pituitary tumor or is it something that may be assumed due to labs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
MRI or CT Scan Brain: An imaging test of the brain either MRI or CT Scan would confirm a pituitary tumor. The endocrine system works through the hypothalamus, pituitary, target organ axis. This interplay between the brain and end target organ may be picked up with lab tests as well.
