How does taking hormone pills (Diane35) for Menorrhagia affect my chances of getting pregnant in the future?

You may be glad to know that since oral contraceptive pills like Diane 35 are short acting in that they are only effective for 1 day (which is why you need to take them orally everyday) , they should not affect your chances of conceiving in the future. The reason why some women claim that they may have difficulty getting pregnant after being on the oral contraceptive pill for some time is that they are older by then so natural fertility decreases with increasing maternal age (rather than be due to a direct effect from the oral contraceptive pills).

What hormones are affected by hypopituarism, and how does it affect body functions?

Hypopituitarism refers to a state where the pituitary gland fails to produce or regulate hormones. The body undergoes several changes and can even be life-threatening. Essential hormones like steroids are needed especially when the body has to cope with stress (like an infection), in the absence of steroids, the patient may actually collapse and become hypotensive. An endocrinologist will be needed to follow up and manage all the hormonal replacement medications. Most medications are taken orally except for testosterone which needs to be injected monthly.
