What are the consequences of pituitary hormone deficiency?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Depends on what part of the pituitary is affected. Many of the hormones start at the hypothalamus and then go to the pituitary so it can be the thyroid, cortisol, growth hormone, the sex hormones are the most commone. Your doctor would be checking to see which hormones are off.
