Endocrinology in Barcelona

Tiredness, hair loss, palpitations, nervousness or unexplained weight changes can be signs of a thyroid problem. If the symptoms persist or thyroid problems run in your family, you should see a specialist. At Gineclinic you are seen by the endocrinologist, who reviews the tests to confirm or rule out the problem and suggests treatment and follow-up.

Thyroid nodules are common and the vast majority are benign; they are often found by chance on an ultrasound. Get checked if you've been told you have one, if you notice a lump in your neck or if you find it hard to swallow. At Gineclinic you are seen by the endocrinologist, who reviews the reports and tests you bring and, with a consultation and a blood test at the same center, decides whether follow-up is enough or another test or treatment is needed.

Polycystic ovaries are not just a period problem: it is a hormonal imbalance that can cause acne, excess hair and difficulty losing weight, and over the years it increases the risk of diabetes and high cholesterol. Get checked if you have these symptoms or if you have already been diagnosed and nobody has checked your metabolism. At Gineclinic you are seen by the endocrinologist: we test your hormones and blood sugar with a blood test, which you can have at the same center, and propose treatment. If needed, the nutritionist also works on your case.

High blood sugar or diabetes means your body is not using glucose properly. At first it often causes no symptoms; however, it needs regular monitoring to prevent future heart, kidney or eye problems. Get checked if a blood test has come back abnormal or if it runs in your family. At Gineclinic you are seen by the endocrinologist, who reviews your blood tests and suggests the lifestyle changes you need and the treatment to follow. The center's nutritionist helps with your diet.

When you find it hard to lose weight even though you look after yourself, there may be a hormonal or metabolic cause, such as a thyroid problem or insulin resistance. If you've changed your habits for months without results or have gained weight for no reason, it's a good idea to see a specialist. At Gineclinic you are seen by the endocrinologist, who carries out the tests needed to look into your case, working with the center's nutritionist on a plan tailored to you.

High cholesterol causes no symptoms, but over the years it raises the risk of heart attack and stroke, especially when other factors are added, such as high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes or a family history. Get checked if a blood test has come back abnormal or if you have any of these factors. At Gineclinic you are seen by the endocrinologist, who assesses your situation and suggests the plan you need.

Tiredness, lack of energy or lower sex drive can have various causes, and one of them is hormonal: a thyroid or testosterone problem. When nothing else explains it, it lasts a long time and doesn't improve with rest, it's a good idea to get it checked. At Gineclinic you are seen by the endocrinologist, who will carry out a thorough assessment to rule out or confirm hormonal or metabolic causes.
