Answers (1)
Sheehan's syndrome is a rare but serious complication of childbirth, not just pregnancy. It occurs when the pituitary gland, which is responsible for producing and releasing hormones, is damaged due to severe bleeding or shock during childbirth. This can lead to a deficiency of hormones such as prolactin, thyroid-stimulating hormone, and adrenocorticotropic hormone, among others.
The reason provided in the assertion that Sheehan's syndrome occurs due to damage to the pituitary gland during adulthood is incorrect. It occurs specifically due to complications during childbirth, not just at any point during adulthood.
Therefore, while the assertion is true that Sheehan's syndrome is a rare but serious complication of childbirth, the reason provided is false, making option 3 the correct answer.
