Initially, inflammation of the thyroid causes a leak resulting in excess thyroid hormones (hyperthyroidims). Over time, the inflammation prevents the thyroid from producing enough hormones. ]]> 2021-11-01 18:11:26 UTC https://padlet.com/k1829387/lu5by7ve8b5aot2c/wish/1859529201 k1829387 https://padlet.com/k1829387/lu5by7ve8b5aot2c/wish/1859540735 Noncancerous tumor of the pituitary gland. This tumor causes the pituitary to make too much of a hormone called prolactin. The major effect of prolactinoma is decreased levels of some sex hormones- estrogen in women and testosterone in men. ]]> 2021-11-01 18:16:20 UTC https://padlet.com/k1829387/lu5by7ve8b5aot2c/wish/1859540735 k1829387 https://padlet.com/k1829387/lu5by7ve8b5aot2c/wish/1859556233 Also called adrenal insufficiency, is an characterized by low secretion of hormones from your adrenal glans.
