Dr. Guan Yanlei
If a woman has a pituitary tumor, the condition may result from familial genetic factors, gene mutations, or hypothalamic hormone regulation disorders. Some patients may have been exposed to specific biological agents or ionizing radiation, or developed pituitary tumors due to prolonged negative emotions, excessive stress and anxiety, chronic fatigue, poor nighttime sleep, and other factors.
