Panhypopituitarism - (pronounced) (pan-HY-poh-pih-TOO-ih-tuh-rih-zum) rare condition in which the pituitary gland stops producing most or all hormones. Pituitary hormones help control the way many parts of the body work. The symptoms of the disease depend on the lack of hormones. These include growth problems (in children), obesity (in adults), hair loss, slow heartbeat, low blood sugar, low blood pressure, fatigue and reproductive problems. This condition can be caused by a tumor on or near the pituitary gland, infection, stroke, injury, surgery, or radiation therapy. It can also be inherited. Also called PHP
