Known as the master gland, the pituitary gland is vital in maintaining the development and health of the body. Found in the middle of the head, this gland regulates growth, development, metabolism, and reproduction. A variety of hormones that stimulate hormone production by other glands are produced and excreted by the pituitary gland.
We focus on the treatment of symptoms in women including the following:
- Changes in the menstrual cycle
- Milk production in non-pregnant or nursing women
- Loss of libido
- Vaginal dryness
- Infertility
- Headaches
- Eye problems
Because growth hormone levels are secreted in spurts, it can be difficult to get an accurate reading of growth hormone levels in the body. Treatment options are geared at maintaining hormone production at a healthy level. These include hormone-based therapies that may be delivered in the form of injection, gel, gums, or patches. Surgery and radiation therapy may also be used in some cases.
