Does Endocrine Problems And Hormonal Issues Cause Memory Loss?
Yes, I have a brother who is 37 years old he is having short term memory loss it comes and goes it has been
slowly progressing in the past 3 years his standard physical say's that he is in perfect health but his cognitive skills are suffering, certain food like brown rice makes him shiver and go into slight and shake and that in turn
brings on the memory loss and disorientation. He is not a diabetic. Does he have problems with his endocrine
system. does he have some sort chemical/ hormonal issues in major gland in his body?

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Its unlikely that any hormonal issues can lead to this kind of problem. He should better get an MRI scan of the brain. If there is any damage to the temporal lobe of the brain, mostly vascular, then it can happen. If the MRI is normal then there is a chance that it could be a psychogenic amnesia.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.

Wish you good health,
Kind regards
