What is Sheehan’s Syndrome?

0

A. Sheehan’s syndrome is a condition where major trauma, or major surgery, which has resulted in severe blood loss, causes a loss of blood flow to the pituitary gland, which then becomes damaged and fails to produce a sufficiency of the thyroid stimulating hormone to enable the thyroid to function properly. This is called secondary or central hypothyroidism.
