Welcome to EmpowHER. Pituitary microadenoma treatment options vary based on:
The type of pituitary microadenoma
The symptoms of its hormone activity
How far the microadenoma has spread into the brain
The patient's age and overall health.
Treatments for a pituitary microadenoma can include:
Drug therapy
Surgery (removing the microadenoma in an operation)
Radiation therapy (using high-dose x-rays to kill microadenoma cells).
I think a neurosurgeon would be the proper doctor that can definitely give you a second opinion, as to what would be best for you. Since they specialize in any condition affecting the main nervous system such as the brain and spine.
