Dr. Huang Shichang
Facial swelling after pituitary tumor surgery may result from the body's inability to recover, cerebral edema, or residual tumor. Further surgical intervention or medical treatment should be selected based on individual circumstances. It is recommended to identify the underlying cause according to medical advice and receive effective treatment accordingly. If there are thyroid dysfunction, adrenal insufficiency, gonadal dysfunction, or hypothyroidism, oral lactomexole replacement therapy is recommended.
