Diagnosis and Treatment
A comprehensive diagnosis is essential to determine the appropriate treatment for your condition. Dr. Handelsman will initiate the diagnostic process by conducting a blood draw and a series of lab tests. Additional imaging tests, like an MRI, CT scan, or x-rays, may be necessary to examine the pituitary gland. These results will reveal any abnormal hormone levels and indicate whether they are high or low. Based on the findings, Dr. Handelsman will develop a personalized treatment plan to improve your well-being and restore a high quality of life.
Hormone replacement therapy is the primary approach for treating pituitary gland disorders and conditions. Once the underlying cause of your condition has been identified and addressed, the imbalanced hormone will be corrected. If hormone therapy is deemed appropriate for your situation, we will schedule a consultation to explain the procedure, outline the expected outcomes, and arrange the necessary steps for your treatment. We aim to provide you with the information and support you need to embark on your healing journey.
