Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sheehan's syndrome is a condition of pituitary hypofunction that results from severe postpartum bleeding. It can cause circulatory disturbances such as ischemia due to the decreased production of hormones that regulate blood pressure and blood flow. Cushing's syndrome, Cushing's disease, Adrenogenital syndrome, and Graves' disease are not typically associated with circulatory disturbances caused by pituitary hypofunction.
