What Is Your Opinion About Pit Edema Getting Cured After Taking Medicines And Treatment?
My daughter has been told she has a pit odeoma. Her prolactinoma levels elevated to 2000. The odeoma is 3 mm . Has been prescribed dostinex for 2 weeks. Blood test to follow. Told maybe two months of treatment with revised meds and hopefully the tumour may have gone. Very worried if no response from meds suggests may be a cyst he will pop. She was seen my a neurosurgeon. So worried

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern let me tell you that given history is not enough and incomplete, first pitting edema is the symptoms and not the disease if someone have such symptom then underlying cause of this need to be found out and treated accordingly and not to treat the symptom alone, second what kind of cyst she has got this is not mentioned here, have a nice day.
