What diseases does an endocrinologist treat?

Conditionally, all diseases of the endocrine system can be divided into several categories depending on which gland the problems are observed with:

1. Disease of the thyroid gland. This group includes thyroiditis, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, nodular, endemic, toxic goiter.
2. Diseases of the hypothalamic-pituitary system (pineal gland and pituitary gland).
3. Adrenal gland disease. Primary hyperaldosteronism, chronic adrenal insufficiency, hormonally active tumors of the pancreas and gastrointestinal tract.
4. Pancreatic disease. This includes disorders in mineral metabolism, metabolism, diabetes.
5. Diseases of the reproductive system. This group includes disorders of menstrual function, premenstrual syndrome. Gynecologists and endocrinologists deal with these and other hormonal diseases of the female reproductive system.
6. Finally, a separate category can be named, which includes diseases associated with disturbances in the work of several endocrine systems at once - these can be hormone-dependent tumors, apudoms.

The most frequent diseases of the endocrine system can be called problems with the thyroid gland, obesity and diabetes.

• Thyroid. It is responsible for the storage of iodine in the body and the production of iodothyronines (iodine-containing hormones), which are involved in cell growth, metabolism, and body growth. The group of thyroid diseases includes such diseases as hypothyroidism, autoimmune and subacute thyroiditis, toxic, endemic, diffuse, nodular hyperthyroidism, thyroid cancer, thyrotoxic adenoma, etc.
• Obesity and metabolic syndrome. In this case, the appearance of excess weight is due to serious disturbances in metabolism, and in order for the treatment to have the necessary effect, it is important to use a comprehensive approach to combating the problem. An endocrinologist specialist at the Giorno Medical Center will prepare a special diet for you that takes into account the specifics of your condition, the nature and degree of the disease, and will also prescribe medications. In some cases, surgery may be required.
• Diabetes. Such a concept as "diabetes" includes several endocrine diseases caused by disorders in the work of the pancreas. The disease manifests itself in the lack of insulin. Insulin deficiency can be relative or absolute, but in any case, it leads to the fact that the patient's blood glucose level rises. This disease is chronic, so patients diagnosed with diabetes should regularly visit an endocrinologist and monitor their health.
