The endocrine glands secrete hormones that are essential for the proper functioning of the body, including the thyroid, parathyroids, pituitary gland, pancreas, stomach, adrenal glands, as well as the ovaries and testes.
These hormones can be affected by various issues, whether morphological (such as a goiter, mass, adenoma, nodule, or cyst, whether benign or malignant) or functional (such as excessive or insufficient hormone secretion), leading to pathological symptoms and clinical signs.
A hormonal imbalance can cause various problems affecting morphology, fertility, and bodily functionality, impacting both women and men. To better understand these disorders, a consultation helps identify potential issues and plan the necessary exams to establish an accurate diagnosis.
