What do pituitary gland abnormalities include?

I have been getting bad headaches lately and I went to a neurologist. He did a CBC and thyroid count which came back normal except that I am a little anemic. He also did an MRI in which he said there was an abnormality on the pituitary gland. He ordered another MRI which I won't find out the results until another week and half. I am really nervous about this. What could it be and how serious is it?

It covers many things from fatigue to bone issues to weight gain to weight loss to libido to period issues... So many it would take pages to list and some are unique depending on the lesion.

Imaging is part of the diagnosis. Testing is the main part. Get a good doctor and a good idea is a pituitary center so you get tested correctly. Get copies, read up and let us know how it goes.
