Does panhypopituiarism affect my physical ability?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It can: The pituitary is the "master gland" as it controls all the other organs in the body that produce hormones. Panhypopituitarism means that the pituitary is not producing enough or any of its hormones. These hormones are responsible for growth and development and thyroid disease. It is important that you take hormones to replace what is missing and this might help improve "physical ability".

Not if treated: If you receive the adequate hormonal replacement you should be able to have a normal quality of life.
