Do you believe the doctor's judgment when a woman is reminded of illness by a strange man while eating?

Everyone may have met someone who sells things, but if someone comes directly to tell you that you are ill. Maybe we all want to know whether this is a fortune teller or a curse. If you have a bad temper, just scold. But recently in Zhuji, Zhejiang, when Aunt Zhu (a pseudonym) was eating noodles at the noodle restaurant, a strange man next to her reminded Aunt Zhu that she might have a tumor in her brain and suggested that she go to the hospital for examination and leave her phone number. At first, Aunt Zhu, like everyone else, doubted whether this person would visit fortune-teller or something. 165438+1At the beginning of October, Aunt Zhu contacted a strange man, only to know that he was Zhao Ming, director of neurosurgery at Zhuji People's Hospital. Aunt Zhu was diagnosed as a growth hormone pituitary adenoma after MRI examination in the hospital.

Aunt Zhu presented a banner to Dr. Zhao.

Zhao Ming said, "I was eating noodles at the noodle restaurant that day, and I noticed that her face had the characteristics of a pituitary tumor patient: thick lips, prominent eyebrows and cheekbones, and a wide nose. Dr. Zhao asked Aunt Zhu if she had diabetes and got a clear answer. Dr. Zhao Ming said that Aunt Zhu may have a brain tumor. If she believes him, leave her phone number and let Aunt Zhu go to the hospital for examination. Although it is very presumptuous, I decided to talk to her out of professional habits so as not to delay treatment. " A few days ago, after Zhao Ming's operation, Aunt Zhu's intracranial pituitary tumor was removed and her condition improved. I believe many people are familiar with this lyric, but have you ever thought that doctors can find potential patients by looking at you more in the crowd? Recently, a hot search for "the women's restaurant was reminded of illness by a strange man" told such an example.

When Ms. Zhu from Zhejiang was eating noodles at the noodle restaurant, Dr. Zhao, director of neurosurgery at Zhuji People's Hospital, was also eating. She glanced at Ms. Zhu and reminded her that she might have a tumor in her brain. She suggested going to the hospital for relevant examination immediately, and also left her phone number for Ms. Zhu. Ms. Zhu immediately went to the hospital for an MRI examination. As expected, she was definitely diagnosed as a growth hormone pituitary adenoma. Fortunately, the disease was found in time and removed by surgery. Now Ms. Zhu has successfully recovered and left the hospital. It is understood that on the same day, Dr. Zhao found that Ms. Zhu's lips were thicker, her nose was wider, and her cheekbones and brow arches were obviously protruding, which was in line with the characteristics of pituitary adenoma. Out of good professional ethics, she decided to tell Ms. Zhu, otherwise it would delay the best treatment opportunity.

What disease is pituitary adenoma?

Pituitary tumor is a kind of neuroendocrine tumor with high incidence, most of which are benign. The pituitary gland is located at the bottom of the brain. Although small, it can affect every part of the body. The pituitary gland can secrete hormones and regulate important functions, including reproduction, blood pressure and growth.

What are the symptoms of pituitary adenoma?

1, headache

With the enlargement of the tumor, it can cause compression, thus causing headache, mainly concentrated in the double temporal and forehead, and some patients will also have unilateral forehead pain or unilateral canthus pain.

2. Abnormal eyes

Tumors can compress the optic chiasma, thus affecting vision, leading to decreased vision, visual field defect and fundus changes. Vision loss is limited to one side or both sides. In severe cases, both eyes are blind and one or both sides are blind. In addition, after the cranial nerve is compressed by tumor, it can cause eyelid drooping, double vision and limited eye movement.

3. Diabetes insipidus

Tumors can affect hypothalamus, thus causing diabetes insipidus, mainly manifested as thirst, increased urination and drinking more water.

4, facial abnormalities

Growth hormone tumors can secrete too much growth hormone, leading to acromegaly in adults. The main features are enlarged nose, protruding forehead, thickened lips, enlarged hands and feet and protruding chin.
