Pituitary Gland & Related Conditions

The pituitary gland is a small, bean-shaped gland situated at the base of the brain

Despite its small size, the gland influences nearly every part of the body

The hormones it produces help regulate important functions, such as growth, blood pressure and reproduction

PITUITARY NODULE

An abnormal growth that develop in the pituitary gland due to uncontrolled cell growth

The majority of pituitary nodules are non-cancerous

Some pituitary nodules cause excess production of one or more of the pituitary hormones

Some pituitary nodules can result in underproduction of one or more of the pituitary hormones

PROLACTINOMA

A pituitary nodule that overproduces the hormone prolactin

Prolactin prepares the breasts in women for eventual breastfeeding during pregnancy

Prolactin assists in testosterone production in men

Higher than normal prolactin can cause:

- Irregular or absent menstrual periods

- Milky discharge from the nipple(s)

- Reduced s*x drive &/or er****on problem in men

We Live With Diabetes But We're Not Ashamed | Can Ask Meh?

Many people worldwide have diabetes mellitus. The rate of diabetes ranges from around 5% to 15% depending on the country.

Diabetes mellitus is a condition when an individual's pancreas does not produce sufficient amount of insulin (hormone) and/or there is resistance to the effects of insulin due to excess body weight. The end result is higher than normal blood sugar (glucose) levels.

90% of people with diabetes worldwide have type 2 diabetes where there is reduced insulin production and insulin resistance. 10% of individuals have type 1 diabetes where there is close to zero production of insulin from the pancreas.

Having diabetes mellitus is nothing to be ashamed of. Anyone can live with diabetes and still lead a normal life with adjustments in diet and physical activity.

THYROID NODULES

Lumps or nodules can form in the thyroid gland similar to anywhere else in the body.

Thyroid nodules can be solid or fluid-filled.

90 to 95% of thyroid nodules are non-cancerous.
- Only 5 to 10% are cancerous.

Majority of thyroid nodules do not cause any symptom.

Occasionally large nodules can press on the windpipe or food pipe (esophagus), causing breathlessness and difficulty swallowing food, respectively.

There is no blood test to diagnose thyroid cancer.

Suspicious-looking thyroid nodules on ultrasound scan will need an ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy to determine if there is a possibility of cancer.

Carbohydrate Consumption For People With Diabetes

Refined carbohydrates, like white rice and white bread, have high glycemic index, which cause rapid and large spikes in blood sugar levels.

Complex carbohydrates, like brown rice and wholemeal bread, have low glycemic index, which cause lower and gentler change in blood sugar levels.

Large spikes in blood sugar level have been linked with increased risk of diabetes-related complications.

People with diabetes should reduce consumption of foods with refined carbohydrates.

They should eat more of foods with complex carbohydrates.
