The pituitary gland, though tiny, plays a big role in managing crucial body functions. When a tumour develops here, it can lead to too much or too little hormone production, affecting your health in many ways.
Treatment may include surgery, medications, or radiation therapy, depending on the type of tumour and your individual needs. Sometimes, careful monitoring is all that’s required.
A fall, accident, or sudden jolt can sometimes cause spinal injury—and ignoring it could lead to lasting damage.
Keep an eye out for warning signs like sudden severe pain, weakness, numbness, tingling, or trouble walking. These symptoms deserve expert attention.
If you notice anything unusual, consult our orthopedic specialists. Early diagnosis leads to better recovery.
