Which is a common clinical manifestation of hypopituitarism that occurs due to deficiency of growth hormone (GH) or a deficiency of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) ?

Answer & explanation:

Hypopituitarism is a rare disorder in which the pituitary gland of the brain cannot produce one or more hormones in sufficient quantity. When this happens, various body mechanisms may not function properly, especially those related to growth, blood pressure or reproduction.

Depending on the hormone that is affected, symptoms may vary, but usually the doctor may suspect a case of hypopituitarism when a child is not growing at a normal pace or when a woman has fertility problems, for example.

The most common signs of hypopituitarism include: easy tiredness, constant headaches, weight loss for no apparent reason, excessive sensitivity to cold or heat, poor appetite, and difficulty to increase in size for children.
