Pituitary Tumor – Overproduction of Hormones

Transcript

Another set of symptoms are too much hormone production. So the hormones that pituitary tumors typically overproduce are prolactin, which will produce milk production in male or females, or too much steroid production, which can do a whole bunch of things to the body in a bad way, or too much growth hormone, which produces a condition called acromegaly. And that’s fundamentally the two ways that pituitary tumors can present. Hormone dysfunction or disturbance by growth and that would be typically visual disturbance or double vision.
