Frequently Asked Questions
What does an endocrinologist treat?
An endocrinologist is responsible for diagnosing and treating diseases related to hormonal glands, such as the thyroid, pancreas, pituitary, adrenals, ovaries, and testicles.
When should you see an endocrinology specialist?
If you experience symptoms like persistent fatigue, unexplained weight gain or loss, menstrual irregularities, hair loss, excessive thirst, or mood swings, an endocrine evaluation is recommended.
What is the relationship between endocrinology and diabetes?
Endocrinology is the medical specialty responsible for the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of all types of diabetes, offering individualized education and control for each patient.
Do you treat thyroid problems?
Yes. At AGEL Canarias, we evaluate and treat hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, thyroid nodules, goiter, and provide follow-up for patients with thyroid cancer.
How are female hormonal problems like PCOS or menopause treated?
An individualized approach is taken, which may include hormonal adjustments, lifestyle changes, and medical treatments depending on each case.
What tests are performed during an endocrinology consultation?
Depending on the symptoms, hormonal blood tests, metabolic studies, ultrasounds, imaging tests, and other complementary examinations may be requested.
