An endocrine surgeon is a specialist doctor who treats hormone-related conditions using surgery.
They operate on glands that control hormones, mainly the thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands. These glands affect energy levels, calcium balance, metabolism, and many body functions.
An endocrine surgeon is involved when a problem cannot be managed with medication alone. This includes large goitres, thyroid nodules, thyroid cancer, parathyroid disease, or hormone-producing tumours.
The role combines careful diagnosis, precise surgery, and long-term follow-up. The goal is to treat the condition safely while protecting nerves, hormone balance, and quality of life.Report this post
