| Ahumada Del Castillo Syndrome |
Ahumada Del Castillo is a rare endocrine disorder affecting adult females and is characterized by impairment in the function of the pituitary and hypothalamus glands. Symptoms may include the production of breast milk (lactation) not associated with nursing and the absence of menstrual periods (amenorrhea) due to the lack of monthly ovulation (anovulation). The exact cause of Ahumada Del Castillo is not known although some research suggests that small tumors in the pituitary and/or hypothalamus gland may be responsible for some cases of this disorder. |
