Can I still get pregnant if I have a pituitary tumor?

Pituitary tumor is actually a disease. The reason why many women discover this problem is that they go for a check-up when they are infertile. Therefore, for women, the recognition and understanding of this disease must be very important. Some women will wonder if they can get pregnant normally if it is a pituitary tumor. Let us analyze and introduce it in detail below.

Many young women find out that they have pituitary tumors because of infertility. After treatment, the sex hormone levels of some women return to normal and they are able to become pregnant. In this case, can they continue to have a normal pregnancy?

Brain tumor experts say that pituitary tumor patients can have a normal pregnancy after their condition stabilizes, but they need to be closely observed and stop taking medication for a period of time.

Pregnancy observation

Pay attention to headaches, check the visual field regularly (at 20, 28, and 38 weeks of gestation), and perform MRI if any abnormalities are found.

Stop taking medication during pregnancy

Stop taking the drug immediately after pregnancy. Although the drug is not teratogenic, late-stage tumors are unlikely to grow larger. For patients with large adenomas, medication can be used again if the adenoma increases during pregnancy.

Follow-up after delivery

Endocrine examination (also known as six hormone tests) 10 to 12 weeks after delivery

Through the above introduction, we will find that if patients with pituitary tumors want to have a normal pregnancy, they must strictly follow the doctor's advice and make decisions based on their own condition. After all, it is related to their own physical health and the healthy development of the fetus, and must not be blindly ignored.
