The main symptoms of pituitary tumors in women include hormonal abnormalities and symptoms caused by tumor compression.
1. Symptoms due to hormonal abnormalities: Excessive prolactin secretion may lead to menstrual disorders, infertility, galactorrhea, and amenorrhea. Weight loss, palpitations, irritability, excessive sweating, and insomnia may result from disturbances in thyroid-stimulating hormone secretion.
2. Symptoms caused by pituitary tumor compression are less common and may include frontal or bilateral temporal headaches, pain in one eye corner or forehead, decreased vision, and visual field defects.
