Treatment for over active pituitary gland?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It depends: Upon what you mean by an "overactive" pituitary gland. The pituitary is a switchboard which receives signals from the brain and sends signals to other endocrine glands. Which of the many pituitary hormones seems to be in excess? What does your doctor say about this problem, or do you only think there's a problem but have not had it checked out?

Need more info: Why do you think you have an overactive pituitary? The pituitary gland makes various hormones that are essential for correct function of adrenals, thyroid, testicles, growth, there are particular rare disorders that can occur because of a tumor in the pituitary making excess hormone, but symptoms will depend on which hormone is being made. You need to see an endocrinologist to evaluate.
