Pituitary Function Recovery After Non-Functioning Pituitary Adenoma Surgery
How long does it take to get full pituitary function recovery after surgery to remove a non-functioning pituitary adenoma that was approximately 3cm in size.
Size is not the factor but skill of the surgeon and where your tumor sat, wrapped and where it pushed. So, some things may come back, but likely a few hormones may be lost forever.
I am Panhypopituitary not so much from from my pit surgery but my thyroid, adrenals, ovaries etc were all removed. Lost growth hormone as well and so the only thing I have is ADH. After surgery it takes a bit to get managed to normal and then settle. I still see my doc every 6 months for testing and I am 14 years out. MRIs become less often after 10.
