Endocrinology deals with the treatment of diseases of the endocrine glands. Most of these pathologies are caused by excessive or insufficient production of certain hormones. There are also other types of hormonal disorders, for example, those caused by the impaired tissue sensitivity to hormones, as it occurs in type 2 diabetes mellitus – the most common endocrine disorder.
Most endocrine disorders are treated with conservative methods, such as medications, lifestyle modifications, and non-drug procedures. In some cases, the doctors perform operations, minimally invasive procedures, and use various radiation therapy options.
You can undergo your treatment in one of the following hospitals: University Hospital of Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Hospital Neuperlach Munich, or University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus Dresden.

The doctors of the Departments of Endocrinology cooperate closely with representatives of other medical specialties since the treatment of endocrine disorders is sometimes performed using surgical techniques, radiation therapy, or radionuclide techniques. Endocrinologists abroad do not perform surgical interventions. They are performed by highly specialized surgeons, depending on the localization of the problematic organ.
Basic operations in endocrinology abroad are as follows:
The treatment of pituitary adenoma involves not only the use of surgery but also radiation therapy. In addition, radionuclide techniques are used to combat thyroid diseases.
