    Currently, there are no prospective epidemiological studies evaluating the association between the use of oral contraceptives (OC) or menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) and the risk of female pituitary adenomas


    Recently, a research article was published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, an authoritative journal in the field of endocrine and metabolic diseases.


    During the annual follow-up of 6,668,019 people, 331 participants reported pituitary adenomas


    When stratified by BMI, the results of the hysteresis analysis are similar


    It can be seen that in two independent data sets, compared with never use, current and past use of MHT and longer duration of use of MHT are positively correlated with a higher risk of pituitary adenoma
