Endocrinologists
An endocrinologist is a doctor who deals with problems in the endocrine system, whose function is to produce hormones and maintain their balance in the body. An endocrinologist helps to adjust the body’s work by selecting special hormonal drugs.
In most cases, the patient receives a referral for consultation from a gynecologist or therapist, at the Federal State Budgetary Institution “NMIC Radiology” of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, you can make an appointment with an endocrinologist through a call center or feedback form.
At the reception, the endocrinologist conducts a survey, collects anamnesis, examines the skin and palpates the thyroid gland (due to the peculiarities of the anatomical structure, the thyroid gland is close to the skin and its changes are easy to diagnose). If the doctor does not have enough information, he can give recommendations to undergo additional diagnostic or laboratory examinations.
The endocrinologist uses modern diagnostic methods for diagnosis, including:
- ultrasound examination;
- magnetic resonance imaging;
- puncture biopsy of the thyroid gland.
Based on the results of research and admission, an endocrinologist establishes a diagnosis and prepares a treatment plan. The treatment program includes hormone therapy and a dietary diet. Sometimes, to solve the problem, an endocrinologist can refer you to surgical treatment.
