Description

Background: Sheehan's syndrome is a rare condition characterized by pituitary gland necrosis following severe postpartum haemorrhage. We present a case of a 32-year-old woman who developed Sheehan's syndrome after experiencing significant postpartum haemorrhage during delivery. The patient exhibited multiple hormone deficiencies, including adrenal insufficiency, hypothyroidism, and growth hormone deficiency. Prompt recognition and initiation of hormone replacement therapy led to a significant improvement in symptoms and hormonal levels. This case report emphasizes the importance of considering Sheehan's syndrome in women with a history of postpartum haemorrhage presenting with endocrine abnormalities.
