When to seek medical advice

By Mayo Clinic staff

If you develop signs and symptoms that may be associated with a pituitary tumor, see your doctor to determine the exact cause. Pituitary tumors often can be treated effectively to return your hormone levels to normal and alleviate your signs and symptoms.

If you know that multiple endocrine neoplasia, type I (MEN I) runs in your family, talk to your doctor about periodic tests that may help detect a pituitary tumor early.
