Endocrinology: Compassionate Care for a Healthier You

Lee Health Endocrinology experts specialize in diagnosing, managing, and treating a wide range of conditions affecting the endocrine system. The endocrine system affects nearly every organ system in your body. Problems with your pancreas as well as your thyroid, pituitary, and adrenal glands often lead to growth disorders as well as weight gain, bone loss, and diabetes. Through cutting-edge research, innovative treatments, and promoting a healthy lifestyle, our endocrinologists use individualized plans to address your needs. That means more control, fewer complications, and a healthier life.

Endocrinology Conditions We Treat

Our endocrinology team specializes in the care and treatment of a variety of endocrine disorders, including:

The adrenal glands, located above each kidney, produce hormones like cortisol and aldosterone, which help regulate stress, metabolism, and blood pressure.

  • Cushing’s Syndrome: Excess cortisol production can lead to symptoms such as rapid weight gain, thinning skin, muscle weakness, and high blood pressure. Treatment may involve reducing corticosteroid use, surgery, or medications to control cortisol levels.
  • Addison’s Disease: Insufficient cortisol and aldosterone production can cause extreme fatigue, low blood pressure, muscle weakness, and salt cravings. Treatment typically includes hormone replacement therapy to compensate for the deficiency.
  • Adrenal Tumors or Hyperplasia: These conditions may affect hormone production and require advanced imaging, biopsies, or surgical interventions.

Additional diseases we treat include:

  • Pheochromocytoma: A rare tumor of the adrenal gland causing excessive adrenaline production.
  • Adrenal Fatigue (controversial): A term used for non-specific symptoms linked to stress and low cortisol production.
  • Adrenal Cancer: Malignant tumors in the adrenal glands.

Our team provides thorough evaluations and individualized treatments to manage adrenal gland disorders effectively.

Hormonal imbalances occur when there is too much or too little of a hormone in the bloodstream. Even small imbalances can cause significant changes in how your body functions. 

Hormonal imbalances can result from or lead to a range of conditions, including:

  • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): Causes irregular periods, excess androgen levels, and ovarian cysts.
  • Primary Ovarian Insufficiency (POI): Early menopause due to diminished ovarian function.
  • Hypogonadism: Low testosterone levels in men or estrogen/progesterone in women.
  • Cushing’s Syndrome: Often linked to prolonged exposure to cortisol.
  • Hyperprolactinemia: Excess prolactin levels that may affect fertility and sexual function.
  • Hormonal Imbalance in Menopause or Andropause: Fluctuating hormone levels in aging individuals.

Common signs of hormonal imbalances include irregular menstrual cycles, unexplained weight gain or loss, mood swings, fatigue, and hair thinning or loss. Imbalances may result from stress, medical conditions (like PCOS), menopause, or lifestyle factors such as poor diet and sleep patterns. Our specialists provide hormone replacement therapy for deficiencies, lifestyle and nutritional guidance, and medications tailored to specific conditions.

At Lee Health, we work to identify the root cause of hormonal changes, offering personalized care to restore balance and improve overall well-being.
