What is hypopituitarism?
The pituitary gland is a part of the brain that controls hormone levels in the entire body. In hypopituitarism, this control is disrupted, causing hormone levels to drop and organ function to decrease. Causes include tumors, previous radiotherapy, infections and autoimmunity (body's immune system attacking itself).
Symptoms of hypopituitarism
Fatigue
Dry Mouth
Weakness in arms or legs
Questions your doctor may ask to check for hypopituitarism

Treatment for hypopituitarism
The main goal of treatment is restoring normal hormone levels. The specialist will prescribe several types of hormones, and patients may need to attend regular follow-ups to ensure the dose is correct for each individual. Surgery may be needed if a tumor is causing this condition.
