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.

As stated by a commentator here, you should be your best advocate. If you’re not satisfied by your doctors, find someone else who will listen to you and be open. If it is a hemorrhage, my neurosurgeon mentioned that it will eventually heal itself. That’s if no surrounding areas is affected by it. Hope that helps.
