What Is Hemorrhagic Microadenoma Pituitary Gland?

Hemorrhagic is the medical term that is used for bleeding. Hemorrhagic Microadenoma Pituitary Gland is a life-threatening condition caused by acute bleeding in the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland plays a very important role in the human body. It controls growth, metabolism, ​reproduction, sexual maturation, blood pressure, and many other vital physical functions and processes. Pituitary microadenoma is a tumor and it forms in the pituitary gland. It is smaller than 1 centimeter.

DNA mutations cause cells in the pituitary gland to grow uncontrollably and then develop a pituitary microadenoma. It is a noncancerous tumor. It doesn’t mean you don’t need treatment. If the hemorrhagic microadenoma pituitary gland is left untreated, it can lead to serious disease due to its effects on the normal pituitary gland, optic nerves, and brain.

Symptoms And The Condition

Hemorrhagic Microadenoma Pituitary gland is more likely to be functioning tumors because they produce too many hormones. When hormone imbalance occurs it can be caused by pituitary microadenomas. It can cause a number of symptoms, often resulting in the diagnosis of a tumor. Here we will tell you some common hormone imbalances in the human body. It is caused by pituitary microadenomas and the symptoms they produce:

• ACTH (high-level steroid hormones): It can cause Cushing’s disease. The result is hair growth, weight gain, vision problems, swelling, decreased sex drive, and high blood pressure.

• High levels of prolactin hormone: The Result of this hormone is erectile dysfunction in men, decreased sex drive, osteoporosis, changes to the menstrual cycle in women, breast growth, and infertility.

• High levels of growth hormone: When this happens then there is often an increase in swelling and joint pain.

How To Diagnose It?

Before the treatment, your doctor will take a physical exam. They will also discuss your symptoms with you. After that your doctor may recommend one or more of the following tests:

Urine and blood tests: Urine and blood tests to measure the hormone and blood sugar levels of the patient.

Inferior petrosal sinus sampling: In this test small tubes are directed through a vein to collect a sample of the blood from the pituitary gland.

Radiography: Before MRI, the pituitary microadenoma was imaged with lateral skull x-rays, and then later with a CT scan. However, CT was able to detect up to 80-90% of microadenomas between 5-10 mm in size. It was a highly specialized technique when radiologists will use radiography because of its clear images of the tissues, organs, bones, and vessels that comprise the human body.

MRI: MRI is the based of imaging for the hemorrhagic microadenoma pituitary gland. This requires dedicated pituitary sequences. Contrast-enhanced MRIs have a sensitivity of around 90%. Post-contrast and especially thin-section dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging is an important part of a pituitary microadenoma MRI. It has significantly improved diagnostic accuracy.

The MRI images are generally more detailed than those from CT scans. MRI may show macroadenomas as well as most microadenomas of the pituitary gland. After that most doctors use it to diagnose tumors.

What Is The Cost Of The PituitaryMicroadenoma?

It is the most important aspect of every treatment. The hemorrhagic microadenoma pituitary gland average treatment cost is between USD 6500 to USD 7500.

Treatment Of Pituitary Microadenoma

The treatment for hemorrhagic microadenoma pituitary gland depends on the patient’s condition. Once doctors will examine the patient’s health then they will take any decision. It is usually treated with medicine, surgery, or radiation therapy.

• Medicine: The doctor will use medication to shrink the tumor and block the effect of hormones in the body.

• Surgery: The surgery will use by the doctor when the patient’s condition is critical. It is the best form of treatment and doctors will use endoscopic surgery to remove the tumor. In this surgery, a tiny camera is used to enter the nostril to remove the tumor.

• Radiation Therapy: If surgery isn’t a good option for the patient then radiation therapy is used to destroy the tumor. In this therapy high X-ray, beams use to destroy the tumor. Sometimes doctors use special therapy which is called stereotactic radiosurgery. Using cyberknife technology because it is an advanced form of accurate radiation therapy. It is a non-invasive, robotic system that delivers high radiation therapy to kill the tumor with precise accuracy.

How Many Types Of Pituitary Tumor?

There are six types of tumor which include:

• Pituitary Microadenoma

• Pituitary Macroadenoma

• Symptomatic pituitary tumor

• Asymptomatic pituitary tumor

• Functional Pituitary tumors

• Non -functional Pituitary tumors

When Is Pituitary Microadenoma Surgery Required?

Surgery is needed when the tumor is growing rapidly and suppressing other structures such as the optic nerve-producing symptoms.

Is Pituitary Tumor Considered A Brain Cancer?

When a tumor develops in the pituitary gland is typically considered to be a type of brain cancer. As we told you it is responsible for producing and releasing hormones into the body. It is located inside the skull, just beneath the brain and above the nasal passages.

Pituitary microadenoma may also compress your brain as they grow, leading to difficulties with speech, and vision problems.
