Endocrinology

Endocrinology is the medical specialty that studies the complex and delicate system of internal secretion glands (endocrine) and the hormones they produce. Hormones act as chemical messengers that finely regulate almost all vital functions of our body, from energy metabolism to growth, from reproduction to water-salt balance and mood regulation. We perform thorough specialist examinations and specific hormonal analyses to diagnose and treat pathologies affecting the thyroid (hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, thyroiditis, nodules), parathyroids (calcium regulation through parathyroid hormone), adrenal glands (Cushing’s syndrome, Addison’s disease), pituitary gland, and dysfunctions related to sexual and reproductive health (infertility, menstrual disorders). The diagnostic process is often integrated with thyroid and parathyroid ultrasound for a complete assessment.
