Pituitary gland
Pituitary gland
Hi everyone,
Anyone by any chance had pituitary MRI? Mine shows my pituitary gland is smaller than normal. Nothing wrong with lab results though. Was just trying to see if there is any correlation between this and pssd.
Thanks!

Re: Pituitary gland
Luteinizing hormone (LH) is produced and released in the anterior pituitary gland. LH is connected to DHEA and testosterone through a cascade of events in the body. It basically controls testosterone production. So, YES, the pituitary gland could have A LOT to do with PSSD. We should all firstly do a full hormone panel and see the numbers.

Re: Pituitary gland
My LH level is incredibly high. I did a Labcorp test and it came in at 39.3 mlU/mL. The reference interval is 1.7-8.6 mlU/mL. My FSH Serum level was also abnormally high, 68.3 mlU/mL, when the reference interval is 1.5-12.4 mlU/mL.BlackCat wrote: ↑Sun Sep 26, 2021 3:15 pm Luteinizing hormone (LH) is produced and released in the anterior pituitary gland.

Re: Pituitary gland
I would assume so. Nitric Oxide is low (in the hypothalamus) in PSSD [1] - this leads to lower Pituitary Activity [2] [3].

That's very strange. How high is your testosterone and DHEA?Brain food wrote: ↑Mon Sep 27, 2021 7:38 pmMy LH level is incredibly high. I did a Labcorp test and it came in at 39.3 mlU/mL.

If you Testo is low or normal, with a high LH it means you have hypogonadism. Your hypohyse need to compensate with high LH. You should do an Ultrasound of Testicles
Re: Pituitary gland
My LH is high and I’m basically in menopause. Hormones flatlined. Problem is my anhedonia and chronic fatigue get so much worse on hormones. I’ve tried so many times so many ways. It makes no sense.
Re: Pituitary gland
What's your progesterone, copper, ceruloplasmin, cortisol, zinc and hemoglobin values (lymph and monocytes especially) ?
Re: Pituitary gland
My progesterone is very low. Cortisol is high. I’m sorry I had a nutreval test and I don’t remember anything sticking out about copper and zinc. Copper and zinc in hair test was ok as well, but potassium was sky high which was odd and not very common.
