The endocrine system consists of several glands, in different parts of the body, that secrete hormones directly into the blood. Hormones have many different functions on different organs including the pituitary, thyroid, adrenals, ovaries, testes and pancreas.
Endocrinologists treat a wide variety of conditions including:
- Thyroid conditions – hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism; thyroid nodular disease and goitre
- Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and hirsutism
- Pituitary conditions
- Osteoporosis and osteopenia
At Spire Healthcare, our specialist endocrinologists offer fast access to diagnostic scans and tests, treatments and aftercare. So you won't have to wait to get back to the things that matter.
