Endocrinology

Endocrinology is the specialty that deals with the functioning of the endocrine glands and the impact of hormonal imbalances on the entire body. At Metropolitan Hospital, endocrinological evaluation starts from an integrated approach, in which detailed consultation, modern investigations and correct analysis of the clinical context are essential elements in establishing an accurate diagnosis.

Endocrine disorders often manifest themselves subtly, with symptoms as varied as fatigue, weight changes, mood swings, or heart rhythm changes. For this reason, our department emphasizes a complete investigation of patients, through hormonal analyses, thyroid ultrasound, evaluation of the adrenal glands, ovaries, testicles, and metabolic monitoring. Each patient benefits from an individualized plan, tailored to the real cause of the imbalance, not just the symptoms.

At the hospital, patients with endocrine pathology are evaluated in a modern environment, which allows for close collaboration with other specialties. Thyroid disorders, autoimmune diseases, metabolic dysfunctions, polycystic ovary syndrome, infertility, obesity, diabetes mellitus or adrenal gland disorders are treated through a multidisciplinary approach — endocrinologist, imaging, gynecology, urology, cardiology or internal medicine, as appropriate.

An important advantage is the hospital's ability to integrate endocrinology treatment into complex medical plans. Patients can continue their evaluations in the same place, access advanced imaging investigations, receive treatment for associated complications, and be monitored long-term in a safe manner. For cases requiring surgical intervention, collaboration with general surgery and ENT ensures a complete path, from diagnosis to curative treatment.

Whether it's a thyroid problem, a hormonal imbalance, difficulties conceiving, metabolic disorders or unexplained symptoms, the goal is the same: correct diagnosis, personalized treatment and restoring the body's balance.
