Hypopituitarism

1. P

   Purpose, Prevention & Protection

   • I know my pituitary gland helps control my thyroid, stress hormones, sex hormones, and body water.
   • I tell my team about past brain surgery, radiation, head injury, or heavy bleeding after childbirth.
   • If my cortisol and thyroid hormone are both low, I follow my team’s plan to treat cortisol first.
   • If I lack cortisol, I learn when I need extra medicine during illness or injury.
