Dr. Bai Hongmei
The exact cause of pituitary tumors in women has not yet been fully clarified and remains a relatively general concept. 1. Abnormal cell proliferation: because women are highly sensitive to hormonal influences, excessive hormone levels may stimulate the proliferation of certain cells, leading to pituitary tumors. 2. Trauma-related factors: scar tissue formed after injury may later develop into tumors. 3. Chemical factors, such as exposure to building materials used in interior decoration. 4. Improper diet may also contribute. 5. Radiation exposure: frequent contact with radiation or working in high-risk environments may stimulate endocrine cells and lead to pituitary tumors.
