Consultation with an endocrinologist

The following endocrinologist consultations are provided at the clinic:

Consult an endocrinologist to confirm the diagnosis and develop a treatment plan
If you have consulted a specialist (GP, cardiologist, neurologist, nutritionist, etc.) with observations of health problems and complaints, you have been examined and advised to consult an endocrinologist because you suspect a possible endocrine disease.

Endocrine patient monitoring and dynamic follow-up
If you have been hospitalised with an endocrine problem and need further follow-up by an endocrinologist after discharge. Also if you have a chronic disease (e.g. diabetes, thyroid abnormalities, adrenal gland diseases, etc.) and need regular monitoring, including assessment and adjustment of your drug therapy.

Second opinion
If you have a diagnosis and a treatment plan, but need a second opinion. Most often – if the diagnosis has been made and a treatment plan has been drawn up by your GP and you want to check the diagnosis or the treatment you have chosen.

Preventive check-up by an endocrinologist
If you are experiencing health problems that may be related to endocrine diseases or a lifestyle that contributes to metabolic and hormonal disorders, you should consult an endocrinologist to identify possible endocrine diseases early and start appropriate preventive measures or treatment. A preventive endocrinologist consultation is recommended if any of the above health problems are observed (note that the symptoms listed may also be indicative of diseases of other systems, so it is advisable to consult your family doctor beforehand):

• • high blood sugar (hyperglycaemia or diabetes) or low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia);
  • enlarged thyroid gland (with or without palpable nodules), decreased or increased thyroid function;
  • pituitary or adrenal dysfunction (hypoactivity or hyperactivity);
  • Disorders of vitamin D and calcium metabolism;
  • high blood pressure when youngm, especially if there are sudden attacks of very high blood pressure;
  • persistently elevated blood pressure that has not normalised on adequate antihypertensive therapy;
  • palpitations, irritability, nervousness;
  • unexplained weakness and tiredness;
  • significant changes in body weight;
  • increased thirst and frequent urination;
  • discharge from the mammary glands, enlargement of the mammary glands in boys;
  • menstrual cycle disorders and increased hair growth in women;
  • ovarian or testicular dysfunction;
  • changes in the size of the face, feet and toes, pink streaks on the abdomen, armpits or chest.

Take care of your endocrine health early and don’t wait for unexplained weakness and fatigue, weight changes, non-healing wounds or other unusual symptoms to cause concern and make your day more difficult!
