What is hypothalamic-pituitary pathology?
The hypothalamus controls temperature, hunger, thirst and circadian cycles, regulates metabolic processes and links the nervous system to the endocrine system, synthesizing hormones that control the function of the pituitary gland (or pituitary gland), a gland that, in turn, controls several other glands in the human body (some examples: thyroid, ovaries, testicles, adrenal gland).
The pathology is very varied (as such, the symptoms are also) and deserves a thorough endocrine evaluation and individualized treatment.
Symptoms
The symptoms are varied and diverse and treatment must be individualized to the cause.
