Pituitary Insufficiency
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Pituitary insufficiency, also called hypopituitarism, is a condition in which the pituitary gland, located at the base of the brain, produces insufficient amounts of one or more of its hormones. Since this gland regulates others in the body, its effects can be wide-ranging.
Frequent symptoms: persistent tiredness, weakness, low tolerance to cold, changes in weight, menstrual alterations, or decreased sexual desire, depending on the hormones affected.
Common causes: it may be due to tumors in the area, trauma, alterations following procedures, or inflammatory processes.
Which specialist treats it? The endocrinologist is the professional who studies the functioning of the pituitary and the related hormones. If you have a set of unexplained and persistent symptoms like those described, an evaluation with this specialist helps guide the study of pituitary insufficiency.
