What are the Treatment Options for Hypopituitarism?
Treatment for hypopituitarism aims to restore normal hormone levels and manage symptoms. Hormone replacement therapy is commonly used to replace deficient hormones. For women with reproductive health issues, treatment may include:
- Estrogen and progesterone replacement therapy to regulate menstrual cycles and manage menopausal symptoms. - FSH and LH injections to stimulate ovulation and improve fertility. - Thyroid hormone replacement if there is a deficiency in TSH. - Corticosteroids if there is a deficiency in ACTH.
In cases where a pituitary tumor is the cause, surgical removal of the tumor or radiation therapy may be necessary.
