How does Hypopituitarism Affect Reproductive Health?
The pituitary gland produces several hormones crucial for reproductive health, including follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). These hormones are essential for regulating the menstrual cycle, ovulation, and overall fertility. Inadequate production of FSH and LH can lead to irregular or absent menstrual periods (amenorrhea), infertility, and other reproductive issues.
