    Signs of chronic pituitary insufficiency include: Hypogonadism Sparse axillary and pubic hair Loss of sexual function Cessation of mentrual cycle in women Erectile dyfunction in men Hypothyroidism Dry hair and skin Puffy face Delayed reflexes Hypoadrenalism [medicine.georgetown.edu]

    Patients with this condition may experience decreased sex drive, smooth and pale skin, fine wrinkles around the eyes and mouth, loss of armpit and pubic hair, loss of facial hair, anemia and excessive fatigue. [newswise.com]

    Loss of adrenal androgens is of little consequence for males if testicular androgen production is normal, but can result in decreased libido and loss of axillary and pubic hair in women. [ocw.tufts.edu]

  • Low Back Pain

    "Cross-sectional and longitudinal associations of low-back pain and related disability with psychological distress among patients enrolled in the UCLA Low-Back Pain Study". [en.wikipedia.org]

    There are many possible causes of low back pain. Usually it’s caused by trauma from a sudden strain on the spine. But you should be aware that back pain can also signal a more serious condition called ankylosing spondylitis. [healthline.com]

  • Impulsivity

    It controls the posterior lobe through nerve impulses. The hormones produced by the pituitary are not all produced continuously. Most are released in bursts every 1 to 3 hours, with alternating periods of activity and inactivity. [msdmanuals.com]

  • Anger

    Emotional symptoms may include mood swings, anger, depression or an impaired sense of well-being. [acromegaly.org]

    It is not unusual for patients to describe other symptoms, such as depression, mood swings, loss of memory, insomnia, sexual dysfunction, eating disorders, lethargy, limb weakness, irregular menstruation, impotence, and unusual hair growth. [fortherecordmag.com]

  • Urine Sodium Increased

  • Polyps

    High levels of growth hormone can also cause high blood pressure, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, increased sweating, skin tags, and noncancerous growths in the colon called polyps. [nyulangone.org]

    Other problems include joint pains (osteoarthritis), sleep apnea (excessive snoring, stopping breathing during sleep), hypertension (high blood pressure), diabetes mellitus (high blood sugar), colon polyps, change in teeth spacing, oily skin and acne. [med.virginia.edu]

    Chronic sinusitis and polyps should be rigorously dealt with by an ear, nose, and throat colleague before transphenoidal surgery. [jnnp.bmj.com]

All our team members have vast experience in the treatment of complex neuroendocrine conditions like ectopic posterior pituitary. [chop.edu]

Treatment Just as administration of water is the primary treatment for diabetes insipidus, restriction of water is the primary treatment of SIADH. This will cause decrease in the extracellular volume and stop the ongoing stimulus to natriuresis. [pituitary.org]

Treatment involves curing the cause if it is known. If not, the patient is given an antidiuretic hormone. [faqs.org]

In considering diabetes insipidus a pragmatic approach has been taken in the differentiation of the causes of polyuria and its treatment. A similar approach has been applied to the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Mild polyuria can be managed simply by ensuring adequate fluid intake; treatment with the long-acting vasopressin analogue, desmopressin (desamino, D-8 arginine vasopressin; DDAVP), is used for more severe cases.... [oxfordmedicine.com]

Outlook (Prognosis) Acute pituitary infarction is a potentially life-threatening event. Prognosis for chronic deficiency (which is detected and treated) is good. [medicine.georgetown.edu]

Prognosis The prognosis for most patients with hypopituitarism is excellent. As long as therapy is continued, many experience normal life spans. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

Outlook If hormone replacement therapy is adequate, the prognosis is good. Complications are often related to the underlying disease. For More Information Visit the Pituitary Network Association web site. [webmd.com]

The prognosis for AS is difficult to predict, as it varies widely between individuals, and the progression is often not constant. Important factors for measuring outlook include levels of functional ability, spinal mobility, joint damage, and so on. [medicalnewstoday.com]

Etiologic Diagnosis The primary disorder in diabetes insipidus is disregulation of osmotically stimulated release of vasopressin. [pituitary.org]
