The pituitary gland — a pea-sized structure at the base of the brain — is the body’s master gland, directing the thyroid, adrenal glands, reproductive organs, and growth. Pituitary disorders present with vague, overlapping symptoms that often go undiagnosed for years. Dr. M.V. Rama Mohan provides expert evaluation and long-term management of the full spectrum of pituitary conditions.

About Pituitary IncidentalomasUp to 20% of the population have a small pituitary adenoma found incidentally on brain MRI. Most are benign and non-secreting — but they still require periodic biochemical and imaging review to ensure they remain so.
