A Headache - Free Journey: Managing Pituitary Micro - Adenoma in a Young Unmarried Woman
Dr. Anbalagan Suyambulingam
Abstract: Background: Pituitary microadenomas pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, particularly in young, unmarried females presenting with headaches and menstrual irregularities. This case study illuminates the management of such a condition in a 23 - year - old woman. Method: Comprehensive clinical examination, hormonal assays, and MRI imaging were employed to diagnose a 6x7mm pituitary microadenoma in the patient. Treatment with cabergoline, administered weekly at 0.5mg, was initiated. Results: Within three months of treatment initiation, the patient experienced a remarkable reduction in prolactin levels, dropping from 70.2 to 24. Concurrently, she reported over two months of freedom from headaches, marking a significant improvement in her quality of life. Conclusion: This case underscores the efficacy of cabergoline in managing pituitary microadenomas, particularly in alleviating associated symptoms such as headaches and menstrual irregularities. It highlights the importance of early diagnosis and tailored treatment strategies in achieving favorable outcomes, thus restoring normalcy and well - being in affected individuals.
