What does an endocrinology examination look like?
Endocrinologist examination consists of taking the medical history and the examination itself, with an emphasis on changes in the function of the endocrine glands and organs that produce hormones (thyroid, pituitary gland, pancreas, adrenal glands, ovaries, testes).
When should we visit an endocrinologist?
We should contact an endocrinologist if we notice any of these symptoms that indicate problems with the endocrine glands:
- constant fatigue
- sweating
- weakness
- changes in weight
- sudden mood changes
- thirst
- excessive sensitivity to heat or cold
- heart rhythm disorder
- absence of menstruation

- growth disorder
What does an endocrinologist examination look like?
The examination begins with taking the medical history, that is, a comprehensive discussion about:
- all current complaints and symptoms
- previous diseases
- diseases of close relatives
- other medical conditions
This is followed by a physical examination with an emphasis on changes that may be associated with a disorder in the function of a particular gland, such as:
- height
- body mass index
- the appearance of hair and eyes
- the appearance of the thyroid gland
- blood pressure value
After a detailed examination and discussion, the endocrinologist will make a diagnosis and, if necessary, recommend additional tests (hormone analysis, biochemical analysis, ultrasound, cytological puncture, MRI, CT) and decide on the treatment plan.
How to prepare for the examination?
Bring all your previous test results and the names of the medications you are taking. Also, information about diseases in your family will be of great help in making a diagnosis.
What is the purpose of an endocrinological examination?
Hormones play different roles in our body and ensure the optimal function of metabolism, organs, and tissues. Endocrinologists detect and treat diseases associated with the improper function of the glands that produce them, and which contribute to various diseases such as:
- osteoporosis
- erectile dysfunction
- diabetes
- problems such as infertility
- complications of menopause
An endocrinological examination enables the detection and monitoring of endocrine disorders affecting the thyroid gland, pituitary gland, adrenal glands, ovaries, testes, and pancreas.
