Endocrine disorders can affect the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal function of both men and women. Mumps would be important to know if the client were male. Past valve replacement surgery would not be contributory. Mild intermittent asthma also would not contribute to this problem. However, a client with more severe asthma who takes steroids on a long-term basis may develop secondary diabetes.
