Hypophyse

Control centers of our body, which produce hormones that act directly on the target organs but also some stimulation hormones that stimulate hormone production in other organs.

The pituitary gland consists of the anterior lobe, which produces the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), the growth hormone , the prolactin, the luteinizing hormone (LH) and the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and a posterior lobe through which the antidiuretic hormone (ADH, vasopressin) is released. Disorders of pituitary function can manifest themselves through an excess or a deficiency of one or more hormones. The diagnosis and treatment of the following pituitary diseases are the core competence of my practice: pituitary adenoma, hyperprolactinemia, Cushing's disease, diabetes insipidus and pituitary insufficiency, e.g. after operations or oncological immunotherapies.
