The pituitary gland, a part of the brain, controls hormone levels throughout the body. Hypopituitarism disrupts this control, causing hormone levels to drop and organ function to decrease. Causes include tumors, prior radiotherapy, infections, hereditary issues, unknown causes and brain trauma. The symptoms depend on which hormone is low and varies by person.
Typical Symptoms of Hypopituitarism
- Seizure
- Dry Mouth
- Dizziness
- Weakness in arms or legs
- Inappropriate milk production e.g. not pregnant or with recent childbirth, or as a male
- Blind spots or blind areas in vision
- Poor peripheral vision
- Hair loss
Diagnostic Questions for Hypopituitarism
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Have you had a seizure?
- Do you have dry mouth?
- Are you currently dizzy?
- Do your arms or legs feel weak?
- Are you producing breast milk without being pregnant or giving birth, or if you are a man?
Treatment of Hypopituitarism
The primary goal of treatment is to restore normal hormone levels. Specialists will prescribe various hormones, and patients may need regular follow-ups to ensure the correct dosage for each individual. Surgery may be necessary if a tumor causes this condition.

My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.
(Sep 26, 2024)
Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
