The pituitary gland is a pea-shaped gland that controls most of the other endocrine glands. This also earns it the name of the master gland. Located at the base of the brain, this gland is controlled by the hypothalamus, which lies just above it in the brain. Both the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus work in collaboration to determine the hormones produced and the stimulation that is required. Attempt this short quiz to learn more about the malfunction of the pituitary gland.

Dear lybrate user. The transparent clear liquid which comes out of your penis while having foreplay, speaking to a girl, watching porn etc is called pre-cum. this is a natural procedure and you don't have to stop it. Pre-cum is used as a lubricant on the penis glans, when the penis enters the vagina. Please understand. This is never a health problem. Don't worry. Take care.
