Pituitary adenomas are treated through surgery, medication, and other methods. Pituitary adenoma is a common benign intracranial tumor. The type and size of the pituitary tumor influence the patient's treatment approach. For prolactin-secreting pituitary microadenomas, treatment options include bromocriptine, neuroendoscopic surgery, and microsurgery. For other types of pituitary microadenomas, surgical treatment is the first choice.
