Pituitary Imbalance Treatment For Men

Your pituitary gland makes everything else in your body run smoothly. When this pea-sized super-gland isn’t doing its job, you’ll know fairly quickly. Why? Quite simply, just about everything else in your body depends on it.

If you have any of the symptoms listed below, consider seeing a hormone therapy specialist to discuss potential pituitary imbalance. A specialist will thoroughly examine your pituitary gland and run a series of test to determine whether it is producing sufficient hormones to keep your other glands functioning properly.

Whether your pituitary produces too many hormones or too few, you can experience significant health and performance problems. Fortunately, pituitary imbalance treatments can reduce or eliminate the worst symptoms quickly by bringing your hormones back to the balanced levels. You’ll feel better and all your systems will function properly again.

Causes for Pituitary Gland Dysfunction

The major cause of pituitary gland dysfunction is a tumor. A tumor can cause the pituitary gland to either increase or decrease specific hormone production, depending on where the tumor is on the gland. A head injury, chemotherapy, medications or traumatic accident can also cause pituitary gland hormone imbalances.

Common problems that a pituitary imbalance can cause are:

• Headaches
• Depression
• Anger
• Memory issues
• Sleep disorders
• Sexual problems such as erectile dysfunction
• Fatigue and weakness
• High blood pressure
• Obesity and eating disorders

Focused Treatment to Fit Your Body’s Needs

Fortunately, if a pituitary imbalance causes these conditions, hormone therapy can usually treat them. The pituitary gland produces hormones that regulate other glands in men’s bodies, including the thyroid and adrenal glands and the testicles.
