Many others have written the same thing. Doctors & specialists brush them off, a pineal cyst isn't uncommon, we'll just monitor it, another MRI in one year, etc...I've been told that too. But I have a question:
Does a pineal cyst affect hormones? For instance, pituitary, thyroid functioning, uterine/ovarian functioning?
I have a 1.5 cm pineal cyst, nodules on my thyroid & symptomatic uterus/ovaries where Doc #1 says I have endometriosis & cysts on ovary, and then Doc #2 says I have neither--it's simply hormonal. Doc suggested maybe the pineal cyst is affecting hormonal balance.
Anyone know?

There is a lot of information about pineal cysts and connections with Insulin Resistance, PCOS, Hypothyyroid emerging on the web recently. As the pineal gland is an endocrine gland I am sure hormonal symptoms are related to pineal lesions.
