How long should one rest after pituitary tumor surgery?
For patients who have undergone pituitary tumor surgery, it is recommended that they rest for at least about six months. During this initial post-operative period, patients should be placed in an intensive care unit to monitor vital signs, with a focus on consciousness, pupils, awareness, and limb activity, including blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood oxygen saturation. Once the patient's condition stabilizes, they can be transferred to a regular ward for continued treatment. Patients should not engage in early ambulation to prevent complications such as cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea. During the recovery period, rest should be prioritized, and strenuous physical activity should be avoided. At the same time, appropriate nutritional support should be strengthened. Generally, with about six months of rest, the body will gradually recover.
