The probability of pregnancy with pituitary microadenoma

Nowadays, people's lives are not very regular, and diseases often occur due to irregular life. For example, pituitary microadenoma can cause great damage to the patient's health. As a patient, you should not only actively go to the hospital for examination and treatment, but also improve some bad living habits according to the condition. Many people are very concerned about the pregnancy rate of pituitary microadenoma, so it is necessary to understand it.

Clinically, pituitary tumors with a diameter of ≤10 mm are called pituitary microadenomas, and the diagnosis is mostly confirmed by imaging (CT or MRI) (pituitary tumors with a diameter of >10 mm are called pituitary macroadenomas). Some pituitary microadenomas are discovered accidentally during head CT or MRI examinations for other reasons. The patients have no clinical symptoms of pituitary tumors, and pituitary endocrinology examinations are completely normal. There is no need to take any treatment measures for such patients, and regular follow-up is sufficient. If there are no symptoms, follow-up with enhanced MRI of the head should be performed every 1 to 2 years.

Radiation therapy. Radiotherapy can be chosen for patients with contraindications to surgery or patients with residual tumors after surgery. Radiotherapy is relatively effective for GH microadenomas, and 60%~90% of GH adenomas are sensitive to radiotherapy. Most patients achieve significant results in about 2 years, but up to 40% of patients suffer from hypopituitarism after radiotherapy. It is contraindicated in patients with visual field defects and intracranial hypertension.

The treatment of pituitary microadenomas requires high precision because of the special environment within the brain and the complex blood vessels and nerves. Therefore, no matter what treatment is used, high precision is required. Another characteristic of pituitary tumors is that they grow in irregular shapes, which poses a great challenge to treatment. In this case, surgical treatment cannot completely remove the tumor. If it is not completely removed, it will recur. Moreover, surgery brings great harm to patients, especially the treatment of intracranial tumors, which requires craniotomy and may affect future life.

There is no need to worry about the above when using CyberKnife to treat pituitary microadenomas. First of all, the accuracy of CyberKnife treatment is very high, and the error does not exceed 0.5mm, so there is no need to consider the issue of accuracy. As the most advanced equipment for radiotherapy, CyberKnife naturally has the best accuracy. CyberKnife treatment does not require craniotomy and will not cause any trauma. The recovery time after treatment is also relatively short, and the effect is significant without affecting the patient's normal life.

CyberKnife treatment has the characteristic of leaving no blind spots. For some patients, the tumor grows in a special place, which may not be reached by surgery, gamma knife and other treatments. But CyberKnife can do it. CyberKnife treatment can treat tumors in any part of the body without leaving any blind spots.

The effect of CyberKnife in treating pituitary microadenomas: accurate and effective treatment, no recurrence, high cure rate, short recovery time, and significant results.
