A member asked:

How commmon are long-term hormone problems after brain injury?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not rare: Brain tumors can be associated with pituitary deficiency particularly if radiatin therapy has neen utilized. It seems the more it is checked the more often some hormone deficiency is identified. Probably 15% is a realistic number.
