Endocrinology
Specialist in Endocrinology in Oristano
Endocrinology is the part of medical sciences that studies the glands and the products they release into the bloodstream, namely hormones.
All activities of the human body are controlled by hormones: from growth to digestion, from immunity to sexual functions.
This is why it’s crucial that everything works properly, as even a small imbalance could cause chain reactions.
The glands that secrete hormones are called "endocrine" and are the object of study in endocrinology:
Pituitary
Thyroid
Parathyroids
Glands
Adrenals
Pancreas
Gonads
Kidney
Thymus
Spleen
To check the functioning of the endocrine glands, or to check a dysfunction that presents symptoms, our endocrinologist will conduct an examination in which the following will be analyzed: Patient's medical history, Habits, Measurement of weight and stature, Heart rate and blood pressure, Palpation of superficially reachable glands, Blood tests and Instrumental tests (ultrasound, MRI, etc.).
