Below: Definition Description Causes and symptoms Diagnosis ... Resources Definition Hypopituitarism is loss of function in an endocrine gland due to failure of the pituitary gland to secrete hormones which stimulate that gland's function. The pituitary gland is located at the base of the brain. Patients diagnosed with hypopituitarism may be deficient in one single hormone, several hormones, or have complete pituitary failure. Description The pituitary is a pea-sized gland located at the base of the brain, and surrounded by bone. The hypothalamus, another endocrine organ in the brain, controls the function of the pituitary gland by providing "hormonal orders." In turn, the pituitary gland regulates the many hormones that control various functions and organs within the body. The posterior pituitary acts as a sort of storage area for the hypothalamus and passes on hormones that control function of the muscles and kidneys. The anterior pituitary produces its own hormones which help to regulate several endocrine functions. In hypopituitarism, something interferes with the production and release of these hormones, thus affecting the function of the target gland. Commonly affected hormones may include:

Prevention Hypopituitarism Alternative names: Pituitary insufficiency Definition: An abnormal condition caused by a deficiency of one or more hormones secreted by the pituitary gland. Causes, incidence, and risk factors: The pituitary gland is a small structure that is located at the base of the brain. It is attached by a stalk to the hypothalamus , an area of the brain that controls the function of the pituitary gland. The hormones secreted by the pituitary and their functions are: growth hormone (GH), which stimulates growth of tissues and bone thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), which stimulates the thyroid gland to secrete hormones that affect body metabolism adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), which stimulates the adrenal gland to secrete hormones that affect metabolism prolactin , which stimulates female breast development and milk production luteinizing hormone (LH), which controls sexual function in males and females follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), which controls sexual function in males and females

Hypopituitarism, also called an underactive pituitary gland, is a condition that affects the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland usually resulting in a partial or complete loss of functioning of that lobe. The resulting symptoms depend on which hormones are no longer being produced by the gland. Because the pituitary gland affects the other endocrine organs, effects of hypopituitarism may be gradual or sudden and dramatic. What are the symptoms of hypopituitarism? Symptoms vary depending on what hormones are insufficiently produced by the pituitary gland. The following are common symptoms associated with reduced production of certain hormones: insufficient gonadotropins production (luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone) In premenopausal women, this leads to absent menstrual cycles, infertility, vaginal dryness, and loss of some female characteristics. In men, this deficiency leads to impotence, shriveling of testes, decreased sperm production, infertility, and loss of some male characteristics.
