What happens if pituitary gland and thyroid stop working?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pituitary: Provided that the pituitary is not enlarged, a non-functioning pituitary can be overcome by being prescribed the right medicines such as thyroid hormone. Your doctor will help you find out what, if any, hormones are missing.
