10 Symptoms of a Pituitary Tumor
Symptom #3: Headaches
Headaches can be defined as pain that is felt anywhere in the region of the head or neck. They are a very common symptom that can be seen in various conditions such as dehydration, hypoglycemia, fever, viral infection, stress, overworking, and inadequate sleep. They are also a common complaint among patients with pituitary tumors.
This can be due to the invasion of the tumor into the cavernous sinus containing divisions of the trigeminal nerve and involvement of the dural lining of the diaphragma sella. It can also be due to increased intracranial pressure because of the pituitary tumor. It may also be a side effect after treatment of pituitary tumors using medications or surgery.
