Endocrinologists who are a part of Mount Nittany Health treat a variety of conditions, including:

• Diabetes
• All forms of thyroid disease and cancer
• Pituitary diseases and tumors
• All aspects of calcium metabolism, including osteoporosis and parathyroid problems
• Adrenal problems
• Low or abnormal testosterone or estrogen hormone levels
• Polycystic ovarian syndrome (a condition commonly affecting young women with insulin resistance)
• Unusual, unexplained symptoms, such as sweating or flushing

Endocrinologists also treat patients with diabetes, as the disease is related to the pancreas, a gland that produces insulin to regulate glucose (sugar) levels in the body.

Treatment for endocrine-related conditions can include prescription medication, lab work and other testing, education on coping with a condition and, in some cases, surgery.
