Endocrinology

Endocrinology treats all diseases affecting hormones. Hormonal disorders involve the endocrine glands (thyroid, parathyroid, pituitary, adrenal, pancreas, etc …) or endocrine secretions of various tissues or organs. All medical aspects of endocrine and metabolic diseases and diabetes are supported at the Polyclinique Centre-Ville, in particular:

Thyroid Diseases:

• Thyroid nodule and goiter, on-site thyroid ultrasound
• Hyperthyroidism (Graves’ disease …)
• Hypothyroidism (Hashimoto’s disease …)
• Thyroiditis
• Thyroid Cancers

Diabetes mellitus and metabolic diseases:

• Type 1 diabetes (Insulin-dependent diabetes), intensive insulin therapy and insulin pump therapy. Access to a Diabetes Nurse Educator
• Type 2 diabetes (non-insulin dependent diabetes)
• Other diabetes mellitus
• Dyslipidemia

Parathyroid Diseases:

• Osteoporosis
• Hyperparathyroidism
• Hypoparathyroidism
• Vitamin D deficiency

Pituitary gland Diseases:

• Pituitary Adenoma: non-secreting pituitary adenomas, acromegaly, Cushing’s disease, prolactinoma (prolactin adenoma) …
• Craniopharyngioma and all cystic lesions or tumor of the pituitary region (meningioma, cyst of the Rathke’s pouch …)
• Hyperprolactinemia
• Inflammatory lesions of the pituitary gland (hypophysitis, sarcoidosis …)
• Empty sella turcica, pituitary apoplexy
• Congenital or acquired pituitary deficits
• Diabetes insipidus

Reproductive endocrinology:

• Primary and secondary amenorrhea
• Polycystic ovary syndrome
• Turner’s syndrome, gonadal dysgenesis
• Primary ovarian failure and early menopause
• Galactorrhea
• hypogonadism Hypogonadism

Male Endocrinology, andrology:

• Primitive gonadal deficiency (testicular failure) or secondary (gonadotropin deficiency, Kallmann’s syndrome, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism)
• Klinefelter’s syndrome
