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, and autoimmunity (the immune system attacking itself).
Fatigue
Dry Mouth
Weakness in arms or legs
Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose hypopituitarism
Do you feel fatigued?
Do you have dry mouth?
Do you feel any weakness in your arms or legs?
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.
