4. Prolactin-Secreting Tumors

Pituitary tumors that are prolactin-secreting cause too much testosterone in men and too much estrogen in women. This can lead to erectile dysfunction or breast growth in men, and abnormal menstruation or discharge from the breasts when not lactating or pregnant, in women. This type of tumor can also cause problems during pregnancy.
