Among the symptoms of hypopituitarism is the deficiency of one, several or all of the hormones produced by the anterior pituitary.
Hormonal deficiencies in women produce disruption of menstrual periods, infertility, dryness of the vagina, and loss of some female sexual characteristics.
In men, hormonal deficiencies lead to impotence, atrophy of the testicles, reduction of sperm production, and consequently infertility, and the loss of some male sexual characteristics such as the absence of hair growth on the body and face.
In children, hypopituitarism slows down growth and sometimes causes dwarfism.
Deficiency in the production of thyroid stimulating hormone causes hypothyroidism, which produces symptoms such as mental confusion, cold intolerance, weight gain, constipation, and dry skin.
Fatigue, hypotension, low blood sugar concentration, and low stress tolerance may be considered common symptoms of hypopituitarism.
