Top 3 Treatment of pituitary gland conditions Clinics in Jordan 2026

When do you need this specialty or procedure?

The pituitary is a small gland at the base of the brain that acts as a control panel for the thyroid, the adrenal glands, the ovaries and testes, growth and water balance. When it makes too much or too little of one hormone, the effects can be wide and easy to mistake for ordinary tiredness or stress. Treatment of pituitary gland conditions is usually led by an endocrinologist, who works out which hormone is affected and why.

Consider booking a visit if you notice any of these patterns, especially if they persist:

• Ongoing tiredness, low sex drive, or irregular periods
• Milk discharge from the breast when you are not pregnant
• Changes in facial features, or in hand or shoe size, over time
• Unexplained weight change
• Strong thirst with heavy urination
• Headaches with loss of part of your field of vision

Assessment usually starts with a clinical review and hormone blood tests. Depending on the results, it may include a pituitary MRI and formal visual field testing. The first assessment usually takes 30 to 45 minutes, with tests completed over one to two weeks, followed by review every three to six months.

Urgent warning signs

Do not wait for a clinic appointment if you have any of the following. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department:

• A sudden, severe headache, especially with vomiting, drowsiness or confusion
• Sudden loss of vision or double vision
• Fainting, collapse or rapidly worsening weakness
• Extreme thirst with inability to keep fluids down, or new confusion

How to choose among the clinics here

The order on this page reflects how complete each profile is. It does not show which clinic will suit you best, so compare on the points that matter for your situation:

• Specialty focus. Dr. Duaa Okkeh Clinic and Dr. Rami Abdullah Salameh Clinic each have one listed doctor, working in endocrinology and diabetes. Al Khalidi Medical Plaza is a multi-specialty centre, and its endocrine team works alongside departments such as nephrology and gastroenterology. If you have other health needs too, one building may be convenient.
• Service wording. Two profiles list treatment of pituitary gland conditions by name. The plaza lists adrenal and pituitary assessment. Ask each clinic exactly what it can do after assessment, and whether it sends you elsewhere for MRI or visual field testing.
• Location. The three clinics are in Jabal Amman, 4th Circle and Abdali, all in Amman. Choose the one that is easiest to reach for repeat visits, since review every three to six months adds up over time.
• Insurance. Dr. Duaa Okkeh Clinic and Dr. Rami Abdullah Salameh Clinic list Arab Orient Insurance. Confirm your own policy with the clinic before the visit.
• Hours. Confirmed hours differ. The plaza is open on Thursday mornings, Duaa Okkeh's clinic closes earlier on Thursdays, and Rami Abdullah Salameh's listed hours do not include Thursday. Check the days that fit your schedule.
• Investigations. The plaza's profile notes that investigations needing hospital equipment are coordinated with the appropriate facility. Ask every clinic how scans and special tests are arranged.

What to expect at the first visit

A good first visit is a conversation as well as an examination. Preparing in advance helps you use the time well.

Bring:

• Any previous hormone blood test results, with dates
• Previous imaging reports or eye examination results, if you have them
• A list of all medicines, vitamins and supplements you take
• A short symptom diary covering thirst, urination, headaches, energy and menstrual pattern, if relevant
• Any known family history of hormone or pituitary conditions

Useful questions to ask:

• Which tests do you recommend, and in what order?
• Do I need fasting or special timing for any blood test?
• Will MRI or visual field tests be done here, or arranged elsewhere?
• How often will I need reviews, and what will each one check?
• Which symptoms should make me come in urgently?

Do not stop or change any medicine on your own. If your doctor advises a change, ask for the reason and the plan for monitoring.

Insurance, fees and booking: what to ask before the appointment

Before you book, ask each clinic:

• Insurance. Does the clinic accept your specific policy? Dr. Duaa Okkeh Clinic and Dr. Rami Abdullah Salameh Clinic list Arab Orient Insurance, but coverage depends on your plan.
• Fees. What is the consultation fee, and which tests, scans or visual field examinations would be charged separately?
• Booking. Dr. Duaa Okkeh Clinic can arrange appointments directly. At Al Khalidi Medical Plaza, appointments follow each clinic's own schedule, so ask which clinic and doctor you are booking with. At Dr. Rami Abdullah Salameh Clinic, investigations, treatment and procedure arrangements are discussed individually.
• Follow-up. Ask how repeat visits are scheduled, so you know the plan before you leave.
