Pituitary Tumors

 pituitary tumors
If you have tumors on the pituitary gland, it can likely create an imbalance of hormones in your body. This can cause many different symptoms, including depression, emotional instability, extreme weight gain, fatigue, and depression. Pituitary tumors are often benign and are generally fairly easily diagnosed.

North Jersey Brain and Spine Center is a physical therapy and rehabilitation center located right in the middle of Bergen County. We treat patients with pituitary tumors or any other type of brain or movement disorder which they may be suffering form.

Several different types of treatments are used for pituitary tumors. Prolactinomas are common form and are treated with drugs that help to alleviate symptoms. This can even decrease the tumor’s size. If the tumor is too large for drugs to affect it, surgery or radiation is often applied.  Pituitary tumors are rarely life threatening and these treatments are very commonly successful. There is a high chance of remission.

If you are suffering from pituitary tumors, contact North Jersey Brain and Spine Center to schedule an appointment.
