What diseases does an endocrinologist treat?

Worldwide, the prevalence of endocrine diseases is steadily increasing.
The lion’s share among endocrine pathologies is type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity.
In recent years, these diseases are increasingly common in young people and even adolescents.

The second place in prevalence among endocrine diseases is occupied by diseases of the thyroid gland.
These are nodes and cysts in the gland, as well as a violation of its function.
The main reason for the development of pathologies in the thyroid gland is an iodine deficiency in the body.

Any disorders in the endocrine system can not be ignored.
Be sure to consult an endocrinologist if you notice one of the 10 symptoms of hormonal imbalance in the body:

• Constant thirst in combination with increased fatigue and frequent urination (especially at night), deterioration of vision, dryness of the skin and mucous membranes may indicate malfunctions in the pancreas.
  They may indicate the development of diabetes, so you can not leave this condition without attention.
  Be sure to contact an endocrinologist and pass an analysis to determine the level of sugar in the blood.

• Skin rashes.
  Acne, age spots and other rashes on the skin can be a signal of the body about an excess of hormones.
  In addition, with an excess of the male hormone testosterone, hair problems begin, they fall out and quickly become fat.
• Sudden weight gain or loss.
  If you do not follow a diet and do not regularly overeat, sleep normally and are not nervous, then the cause of a sharp increase or weight loss may be a violation of the production of hormones in the thyroid gland.
  With a lack of these hormones, a person quickly gains weight, and with an excess of weight literally before our eyes.

• Insomnia.
  A lack of the hormone melatonin can cause insomnia.
  The level of this hormone decreases after 40 years.
  However, melatonin is produced only at night, when a person sleeps.
  So it turns out a vicious circle – insomnia itself prevents the synthesis of this hormone.
• Hirsutism.
