How are adenomas treated?

If an adenoma is small and not causing any health complications, your healthcare provider may recommend a “wait-and-see” approach. With this approach, also called surveillance, you don’t get treatment right away. Instead, you follow up periodically with your healthcare provider. During these follow-up visits, your healthcare provider checks that the adenoma has not grown or changed.

If an adenoma is causing hormone problems, your healthcare provider may prescribe medications to control the symptoms. If the adenoma is large or causing significant health problems, your healthcare provider may recommend surgery to remove the adenoma.
