Dr. Guan Yanlei
The symptoms of pituitary tumors in men are mainly divided into two categories: 1. mass effect-related factors; and 2. endocrine-related factors. Mass effect refers to the tumor's growth causing compression of surrounding nerves and blood vessels, leading to a series of symptoms. The most common include headache, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. If the tumor grows larger, it may突破 the diaphragma sellae and compress the optic chiasm, resulting in impaired vision and visual field defects. Endocrine symptoms vary depending on the specific type of pituitary tumor.
