Dr. Guan Yanlei
Headache is one of the common symptoms of pituitary adenoma. An early feature of pituitary adenoma is swelling and pain in the head. As the condition progresses, the tumor may stretch surrounding tissues, leading to persistent headaches and pain in areas such as the eyes, nasal root, and forehead. When the tumor gradually enlarges, it can cause severe head pain, and some patients may experience vomiting. Common clinical symptoms of pituitary adenoma include moon face, limb thinning, acne, osteoporosis, anxiety, and irritability.
