condition where pituitary gland underproduces essential hormones

Hypopituitarism is a condition where the pituitary gland, a small gland at the base of the brain, doesn't produce enough of certain important hormones. This can lead to a variety of symptoms, including fatigue, weakness, and hair loss, as these hormones regulate critical body functions like growth, metabolism, and reproductive processes.
