Comprehensive, relevant and insightful conversations about health and medicine happen here… on MedStar Health Doc Talk.
The pituitary gland is the size of a pea, yet it releases many of the hormones that allow us to live our lives. From its location at the base of the skull, it controls temperature sensations, stress levels, menstrual cycles, and more. Given the gland’s small size, pituitary tumors are sometimes so tiny that an MRI doesn’t even pick them up.
Listen as neurosurgeon Dr. Jugal Shah discusses pituitary tumors from diagnosis through recovery. He’ll also explain treatment options, including how he can now operate on pituitary tumors through the nose, as opposed to through the skull.
Dr. Shah sees patients at MedStar Franklin Square Medical Center and MedStar Harbor Hospital in Baltimore, and in Ellicott City, Maryland.
