Pituitary Disorders

The pituitary gland regulates various hormones essential to growth, reproduction, and metabolism. Disorders such as adenomas, hypopituitarism, acromegaly, Cushing’s disease, and diabetes insipidus can cause a range of symptoms.

These may include abnormal growth, visual disturbances, irregular menstruation, fatigue, and excessive urination. Tumors may be functioning or non-functioning and sometimes require surgery or medical therapy.

Evaluation typically includes hormone testing and MRI imaging. Long-term management may involve hormone replacement and regular monitoring to prevent complications. Early diagnosis is key to preserving hormonal function and overall well-being.
