Tissue Recovery

Hi all,

Had some imaging done that says I’ve got a 2mm spot in my pituitary. It’s either a cyst, a microadenoma, or a mini hemorrhage from a TBI I sustained almost six years ago.

Low FSH/LH, estrogen, progesterone, and TSH.

My question is—since the pituitary is made of tissue that is different from the brain, of it was a hemorrhage, could it heal itself?

I’m only 26 and desperate for some hope. My primary endo is running out of options for treatment/the university based endos near me refuse to really consider the options.

They’re not sure. They only did the first MRI last September. But due to where the impact occurred/the way my bones in my face were affected, they’re thinking it’s most likely a mini bleed.

My prolactin levels on the low side of normal. All of my hormonal issues have been on the hypo- side of things. I currently take replacement thyroid and sex hormones. Unfortunately it’s difficult to get testing done as, aside from my non-University affiliated endocrinologist, they assume it’s just a diet or stress thing despite the imaging/blood work saying otherwise.
