Related endocrine conditions
Our private endocrinologists can treat patients with a range of endocrine conditions, including:
Thyroid conditions
The thyroid gland, in the neck, produces a vital hormone called thyroxine. The gland may be overactive, underactive, form nodules (abnormal tissue) or enlarge to cause a swelling in the neck (goitre).
Goitre >
Thyroid cancer >
Parathyroid conditions
The parathyroid gland (also found in the neck) produces the parathyroid hormone (PTH). If too much of this hormone is released, it can cause problems with tiredness, abdominal pain and pancreatitis.
Hyperparathyroidism >
Adrenal conditions
The adrenal glands are small glands, found at the top of the kidneys, that produce adrenaline and cortisol. If you have an adrenal gland disorder, the glands may not be making the correct amount of these hormones, causing nodules or tumours.
Pancreatic disease
The pancreas is a small organ, found behind the stomach and below the ribcage, which produces the hormone insulin.
Salivary (parotid and submandibular) disease
The parotid and submandibular glands make up the salivary glands found in front of and below each ear. Lumps can develop, causing discomfort for patients.
