When the pituitary gland cannot produce some or all of its hormones in normal amounts, it is called hypopituitarism. The pituitary gland produces many hormones or chemicals that control other glands in the body. If these glands cannot produce these hormones, then it is called hypopituitarism.
Hypopituitarism is a syndrome that is due to the low secretion of hormones that are ACTH(Adrino corticotrophin hormone), ADH(anti diuretics hormone), FSH(follicle-stimulating hormones), TSH(Thyroid-stimulating hormone), LH(luteinizing hormones), GH(Growth hormones), and prolactin is a condition primarily affecting the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland.

Women
irregular or stop menstrual periods, loss of libido, infertility and osteoporosis. Weakness, lack of interest in sexual activity, infertility.
Blood tests:-they can help detect deficits in hormones as a result of pituitary failure
Stimulation or dynamic testing:- which check the body’s secretion of hormones after administration of specific medication that can stimulate hormone production
Brain imaging: CT-SCAN and MRI scan
Vision tests
X-ray
