Hypopituitarism
Hypopituitarism is a condition in which the pituitary gland, located at the base of the brain, does not produce enough hormones. Since this gland regulates others, its deficit can affect various functions of the body.
Which specialist treats it? The endocrinologist is the one who studies hormonal function; in children the pediatric endocrinologist is involved, and the general practitioner usually guides the first visit.
Symptoms that may appear: fatigue, weakness, weight changes, cold intolerance, menstrual changes and, in childhood, variations in growth.
When to seek care? Since the symptoms are varied and nonspecific, when there is a persistent feeling of being unwell or suspected hormonal changes, the most sensible thing is to seek a professional evaluation to guide the necessary studies.
