Hi! I have a serious medical problem. My whole pituitary gland is removed and now I need to use certain medicaments. These drugs will have to be taken to replace the hormones that are normally produced (hormone replacement). Please, can somebody with same problem as mine tell me what are adequate replacements of pituitary gland hormones? Thanks!

Well, I don't have exactly the same problem as you but I'm suffering from sex hormone deficiency. In women these hormones effect estrogen and progesterone production from the ovary and influence normal ovulation and menstruation. I'm getting sex hormone replacement via oral preparations (estrogen) and transdermally (cream). I'm using them for few months.
