Removal of Pituitary Gland

Cachexia, or the sudden loss of weight or muscular atrophy can be triggered in an individual with the removal of the pituitary glands. It is essential to perform an MRI scan to judge the condition of pituitary gland before surgery.

Numbness in finger

I’ve been experiencing numbness in a specific area of my index finger for a little over 24 hours. The numbness is localized to the lower part of the finger (closer to the base/palm side), rather than the entire finger. There hasn’t been any obvious injury, swelling, or discoloration. I don’t have pain, but the sensation hasn’t improved since it started. It's not fully numb.. there is some sensation but it's not completely normal. Does anyone know what could be the reason? Is this something serious? I'd be grateful for any insights on the matter. Thank You.
