Gynecologist-Endocrinologist: Who Are They and What Issues Do They Address?

Hormonal imbalances can have a significant impact on a woman's health. One specialist who helps address these issues is the gynecologist-endocrinologist. This doctor specializes in diagnosing and treating conditions related to hormonal balance and its disruptions.

What Does a Gynecologist-Endocrinologist Do?

Although the specialty of "gynecologist-endocrinologist" does not exist internationally, in post-Soviet countries, it is recognized as a distinct subspecialty. It is important to understand that this is the same gynecologist, but with advanced knowledge and experience in endocrinology.

A gynecologist-endocrinologist thoroughly investigates a woman's hormonal balance and treats various endocrine disorders, including:

• Menstrual Cycle Disorders: amenorrhea, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, polycystic ovary syndrome.
• Endocrine Infertility: treating hormonal issues that interfere with conception.
• Menopausal Symptoms: helping select hormone therapy to manage menopause symptoms.
• PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome): treating PMS-related issues.
• Metabolic Disorders: helping regulate metabolism linked to the endocrine system.
• Treating Hyperprolactinemia and Hyperandrogenism: conditions that may cause hormonal imbalances.

When Should You See a Gynecologist-Endocrinologist?

You should see this specialist if you have menstrual cycle issues, menopausal symptoms, or need hormone therapy. A gynecologist-endocrinologist can also help with infertility caused by hormonal disorders.

Endocrine Pathologies Unrelated to Gynecology

During diagnosis and examination, non-gynecological endocrine disorders may be discovered. For example, such conditions as:

• Diabetes
• Thyroid diseases

In such cases, you may need consultation with other endocrinologists who will assist in comprehensive treatment and diagnosis.

Conclusion

As you can see, a gynecologist-endocrinologist plays a crucial role in treating conditions related to hormonal imbalances. If you have concerns about your menstrual cycle, menopause, or infertility, don't hesitate to consult this specialist for diagnosis and treatment. Remember, timely consultation can help prevent serious issues in the future.
