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.In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link:bit.ly/dr-srikanth-reddy
