In 2003 I had a tumor in my Pituitary removed. Lately I've noticed that some of the symptoms have return such as; Irregular periods, headaches, lactating, and poor peripheral vision.
A couple of months ago I took the Plan B pill, and I was wondering if that could possibly cause residual tumor growth or is it most likely a coincidence?

 Hello --
There's nothing I find in the Plan B literature that would suggest a potential connection, but this is, of course, a hormonal issue either way, so it might be worthwhile mentioning to your doctor. It's also possible, though unlikely, this could be related to residual tumor growth, which of course also ought to be ruled out. Finally it could just be an utter coincidence. It's definitely worth a workup, though to be certain it's neither of the first two. If it isn't residual tumor growth (first rule out) then it probably is due to the Plan B pill, even though this seems unlikely. There are, also, other Plan B side effects which could cause at least some of these symptoms. All in all, well worth a visit to the doctor to have these things sorted out in a formal way.
I hope this is helpful. Good luck to you, and please follow up with us here as needed.
