Endocrinology

Endocrinology is the area of medicine that evaluates and treats hormonal and metabolic disorders. Hormones function as "messengers" in the body and influence virtually everything: weight, appetite, daily energy, sleep, mood, fertility, growth, and even bone and cardiovascular health.

When there is a hormonal imbalance, the symptoms are not always evident, and may manifest only as persistent fatigue, difficulty losing weight, hair loss, menstrual irregularities, anxiety, palpitations, or altered values in blood tests.

​

At Medicalgarve Clinic, the Endocrinology consultation is geared towards understanding the cause of the problem and not just treating the symptoms. A detailed clinical evaluation is carried out, along with careful interpretation of the tests and, whenever necessary, the definition of a therapeutic and dietary plan adapted to each person's reality. The goal is to achieve stable disease control and improve daily well-being.

​

Most frequent reasons for consultation:

– Diabetes or pre-diabetes
– Thyroid disorders (hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, or nodules)
– Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
– High cholesterol and triglycerides
Polycystic ovary syndrome and menstrual irregularities
Symptoms associated with menopause or andropause
Persistent fatigue, tremors, anxiety, or palpitations without apparent cause.
Osteoporosis or calcium metabolism disorders

​

If you have abnormal test results, persistent symptoms without explanation, or difficulty controlling your weight or blood sugar, an endocrinological evaluation can make all the difference.
