Endocrinology and Nutrition in Juaneda

One of the specialities we treat at Juaneda is Endocrinology. This is the field of medicine that studies the body's hormones and the organs that produce them as well as disorders of the endocrine system, covering the hormonal, metabolic and nutritional spheres.

Based on the symptoms, a complete clinical examination carried out by professionals can establish a diagnosis for certain disorders such as obesity, gestational diabetes, hypothyroidism, triglycerides, pituitary, thyroid tumours, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, cholesterol, polycystic ovary or hirsutism among many others; proposing treatments that can be very effective or curative for these diseases.

It is very likely that your family doctor will refer you to an endocrinologist if he or she sees any alteration in your routine blood tests, such as high cholesterol, triglycerides or sugar. But you don't have to wait to be treated by a specialist. If you think you have symptoms related to a hormonal disorder, you can count on Juaneda's medical team. In our associated centres and hospitals we offer a service that adapts to your needs, thanks to our endocrinologists.

Why should I see an endocrinologist?

As we have already mentioned, an endocrinologist can help you with any type of hormonal imbalance, as well as with the illnesses that derive from it. In the same way, visiting an endocrinologist can also help us to control and look after our weight. There are several reasons why we can make an appointment with an endocrinologist, here are the most common ones:

Sudden weight loss or weight gain
Excessive sweating
Feeling of swelling
Appearance of abundant hair (on any area of the body)
Excessive tiredness and exhaustion
Feeling constantly thirsty
Enlarged thyroid (lumps in the neck)

Endocrinology and Diet

It is important not to confuse the work of a Dietitian with that of an Endocrinologist. Although both professionals work with the same tools such as diets, an endocrinologist can use them to treat chronic diseases.

With the aim of helping to provide a correct dietary education for different pathologies, the team of professionals and dietetic technicians in the Juaneda Endocrinology section prepare a series of diets that are routinely used to treat our patients.

Anti-aging diets: anti-ageing.
Diets for diabetics, obesity and nutritional disorders.
Diets to treat renal patients: helping the perfect functioning of the kidneys.
Diets for geriatrics: adapted for the elderly.
Diets for hyperlipaemia: regulating blood fat.
Diets to treat arterial hypertension: helping to prevent and control possible rises and falls in blood pressure.
Diets to prevent migraines: and ailments related to these chronic headaches.
Diets for digestive pathology: which look after the intestinal flora and ensure that the gastric flow functions normally.
Alcat test: personalised analysis of food intolerances.
