A tumour that has developed in the pituitary gland is called a pituitary adenoma. The pituitary gland is not technically part of the brain. It is attached to the base of the brain and works in conjunction with parts of the brain like te hypothalamus and affects their functions. Symptoms of Pituitary Adenoma Hormones regulate many important body functions and physical processes. A pituitary adenoma results in an imbalance in hormone production. The tumour either causes over-production of hormones or their under-production. Results of Over-Production Disruption in menstrual cycle in women Lowering of testosterone levels in men and loss of sexual appetite Unexplained weight gain Results of Under-Production Reduced hormones also cause loss of sex drive in men Infertility in women Hypothyroidism, which leads to loss of appetite, fatigue and decreased activity of the brain Affecting Other Nerves in the Brain As with proper brain tumours, the growth of a pituitary adenoma puts pressure on surrounding nerve tissues.
