Does pituitary microadenoma self-heal?

Pituitary microadenomas generally do not self-heal.

Pituitary microadenomas refer to pituitary adenomas ≤10mm in diameter, which are usually benign tumors. For patients with pituitary microadenomas, self-healing is usually not possible because the tumor is not a self-limiting disease, and the tumor causes space-occupying lesions in the body that cannot be recovered by their own immune function. Therefore, the patient can only clear the tumor and achieve the goal of recovery through corresponding treatment. The commonly used treatment methods include surgery, radiation therapy, etc.
