Endocrinology
The functioning of the hormonal system affects many processes in our body: among other things, it influences metabolism, body weight, the menstrual cycle, fertility, bone metabolism and our general well-being.
The symptoms of endocrine diseases are often not clear-cut. Fatigue, changes in body weight, hair loss, menstrual disorders, difficulty becoming pregnant or an abnormal laboratory result may also have a hormonal cause.
At the SanBer Medical endocrinology clinic, our aim is not merely to evaluate individual laboratory values, but to interpret the symptoms, medical history and examination results as a whole.
We consider it important that our patients understand their own condition, the purpose of the recommended examinations and the available treatment options, enabling them to participate actively in decisions concerning their health.
What symptoms should prompt you to consult an endocrinologist?
An endocrinological assessment may be recommended in cases including:
- suspected thyroid disease or a thyroid nodule,
- abnormal TSH or thyroid hormone results,
- unexplained weight gain or weight loss,
- investigation of difficulty losing weight and underlying metabolic problems,
- suspected insulin resistance or PCOS,
- irregular or missed menstrual periods,
- increased hair growth, acne or other hormonal symptoms,
- investigation of hormonal causes of infertility,
- osteoporosis,
- suspected parathyroid disease,
- investigation of hormonal abnormalities originating from the pituitary gland.
The symptoms do not necessarily indicate a hormonal disorder on their own. The purpose of the specialist examination is to determine whether an endocrinological assessment is necessary and which additional examinations may be appropriate.
As our specialist says: “Patients must be involved in decisions concerning their own health: Tell me and I forget. Show me and I remember. Involve me and I do it.”

What can you expect during an endocrinology consultation?
During the endocrinological examination, the specialist thoroughly reviews the patient’s symptoms, previous medical conditions, available laboratory and imaging results, and regularly taken medications.
Based on the available information, the specialist determines whether additional hormonal laboratory tests, an ultrasound examination or another targeted examination is required.
At SanBer Medical, we aim to ensure that the diagnostic process involves more than the evaluation of results and numbers and considers the patient as a whole.
During the consultation, particular importance is placed on discussing the findings in an understandable manner, explaining the possible causes and jointly reviewing the available options for further assessment and treatment.
At our endocrinology clinic, we aim to provide a personalised, carefully considered assessment and actively involve the patient in the process.
