Small Gland, BIG Impact.

Kahit kasing-liit lang ng pea-size ang Pituitary Gland, tinatawag pa rin itong "Master Gland" dahil ito ang namamahala sa ating mga hormones.

Kapag nagkaroon ng disruption sa gland na ito, pwedeng magkaroon ng mga sakit tulad ng Cushing’s Disease, Acromegaly, Prolactinoma at Diabetes Insipidus.

Don't ignore the signs! Kumonsulta agad sa Endocrinologist.

What is the world’s biggest killer?
It's ischaemic heart disease, responsible for 16% of the world’s total deaths - that is equal to 9.5 million deaths in 2023.

Stroke and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were the second and third leading causes of deaths in 2023, responsible for approximately 11% (6.8 million) and 6% (3.6 million) of total deaths, respectively.

💔 Ischaemic heart disease is a condition where the heart muscle receives less blood flow and oxygen because the coronary arteries are narrowed or blocked.

🧠 Stroke is a medical emergency that occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, either due to a blockage or bleeding.

🫁 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common lung disease causing restricted airflow and breathing problems. It is sometimes called emphysema or chronic bronchitis.
