A member asked:
I have a small hemorrhage in my pituitary. my endocrinologist said to wait for 6 months for another mri. ive been on the medication called gabergoline for almost 2 years and the tumor in my pituitary is not decreasing in size and its growing more?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Obtain a referral for a "second opinion" from a neurosurgical physician, as progression of "growing" pituitary tumors can eventually affect hormonal function and visual abnormalities.
