Sir!what is the estimated cost of macroadema surgery (acromegaly)?

I am trying to find information on long term post operative outcomes after the transphenoidal approach. I just underwent the surgery and have a duragen and duraseal combined closure, but there is very little information on possible complications or things to be aware of now that I am living with a skull base defect. If you have any resources please share. Thank you so much.

Can I eat curd does it have any side effects

Thanks you for this video. The infor about the complications was very helpful. I have high prolactin and headaches. I think I may have a prolactinoma

Excellent... Please continue with other brain tumors and aneurysm topic

Hello sir. I have a pituitary tumor prolactinoma, which is macroadenoma. I suffered from galactorhea and sever amenorrhea I started using cabergoiline for 3 months. First my levels were greater than 200. But after a month it came down to 127. Again. I used it for two months which I was taking twice a week. But its still the levels are 127 after using for 2months. Why do u think its not getting back to normal. Pls reply

Hello sir, If possible, I would kindly like to ask you for your opinion about this case... 30 years old woman with microadenoma (3mm) and Rathke's cleft cysts (8mm) and prolacin 1500, was prescribed bromocriptine by her ginecologyst, which has a lot of side effects. What is your opinion about what the person should do? She is about to see endocrinologist soon. Thank you in advance for your reply. Best regards

Really informative a layman like me. PGI Chandigarh performed excellently in d case of my daughter

Same thing happen with me and surgeries were operated twice in consecutive years 2010 and 2012 ( with radio therapy) but recentlt in 2023 i gone through contrast MRI and find again large tumor in brain, nasal and as well in pituitary gland... now doctor suggesting me third time surgery... what should i do...? Plz suggest me

Sir i have non functional macro adenoma with size 14*13*12mm (ap*trans*cc). No vision problem and no head ache.they found incidentally. My doctor said there is no surgery right now but i need to followup for evry 6 month .pls tell your suggestion sir.

Dr sahib my father 80 is suffering from macroadenoma ,other harmone levels are ok except Na ,k ,Dr advised operation through nasal but age is against , pl suggest can this be cured with medicine.

Sir is there a way I can speak to you about this problem.

My father was diagnosed with pituitary adenoma. The Doctor said he needs to remove the tumor and they will put permanent shunt inside his head all thru his stomach coz they have also seen in the CT-scan that he also has a Hydrocephalus. But my father said his head is not even aching. He only feels weakness with his half body. We are really afraid thinking that the neuro is going to insert permanent shunt inside our father's body. Is it okay if we do not give our consent with the operation and is it okay if my father would only undergo for physical therapy and take oral medicine instead?

Hello Sir, I saw the whole video really informative. My prolactin is 148, I went for an MRI, the MRI says suspicious of microadenoma of size 4.3 mm, will this require surgery? Is it life threatening or can cause any vision issues. I’m not facing any issue other that galactorreha. My gynecologist has suggested to take medication for lowering the prolactin. Pls do let me know

Hi there! If you have the time, i'd like you to look at my personal case. I have a microadenoma of 7.7 mm and the doctors think that it is not the reason for my hormonal imbalances. I have a chronic shortage of testosteron but bij lh, tsh and fsh levels are normal according to one test i've done 3 months before the adenoma was discovered. I'm a 24 year old male, my testikels decreased in size and i have some sort of heavy feeling in the same area. Not painful but just really uncomfortable. The levels of testosteron differs per test, but never within the normal levels. Do you think i need a second opinion? Personally i think this isn't a coincidence, do you think the adenoma is big enough to compress the area? Tests did not assume that the adenoma is functioning, as my prolactine and growth hormone levels aren't that high. It is top of the "normal" levels, but was not to high yet. Again this was the case 3 months before the adenoma was found. I kindly thank you for your time!

My mother was diagnosed with pituitary microadenoma(prolactinoma) in 2011, she took her medication as prescribed (tab.cabergoline).In 2016, after a routine MRI check up, the neurosurgeon told us that the tumor is fully cured & advised us for regular check up of prolactin level under an endocrinologist. From then, my mother is under a regular prolactin level check up on every 3 months. Her prolactin level is normal but for past few days she is experiencing severe vertigo. Now, I am really worried Sir,is there any chance of recurrent tumor or malignancy?? I will be really grateful with ur answer.TIA🙂

Thanks for such a wonderful and informative video. I am 59 years old and post menopause and I had my MRI done last week and a small nodular-like focus measuring about 3.5 x 3.5x 3.8mm seen at superior aspect of pituitary gland. All my tests fell within normal range but I was having headache, blur and double vision,pain at eyes nerve and numbness at head and hands, irregular speech and heart beats and Trigeminal neuralgia. My specialists only told me that I had cataract and migraine with aura and my prescription was Fludan capsule 5 mg every night..I would like to have your 2nd opinion on the benign. Thanks

I wish I could understand what you’re saying 😔

My prolactin level was 150... initially when I checked and was diagnosed with microadenoma last year. But now my prolactin levels are normal from almost 10 months And I'm not on any medication as well.. Will the adenoma shrink on its own sir?

Thank you for this. I was told today I likely have a growth because one of my hormones (Prolactin) is 500 times the amount it should be. Waiting for further tests (MRI) and referral to specialists.
