How Does the Pituitary Gland Affect Reproductive Health?

The anterior lobe of the pituitary gland produces several key hormones that influence reproductive health. These include:
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH): Stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles in women.
Luteinizing hormone (LH): Triggers ovulation and the formation of the corpus luteum.
Prolactin: Responsible for milk production in lactating women.
The posterior lobe releases oxytocin, which is involved in labor and milk ejection during breastfeeding.
