Endocrinology is the branch of medicine that studies the glands with internal secretion and the related production of hormones. Glands with internal secretion are those that release the secretion product directly into the blood. Specifically, we speak of: thyroid, thymus, endocrine pancreas, interstitial gland of the testicle, interstitial gland of the ovary, pituitary, epiphysis and adrenal glands.
At the Quisisana accredited private hospital it is possible to undergo an endocrinological visit in Ferrara. Painless and non-invasive, this visit allows you to identify and control any disorders of the endocrine glands.
The endocrinological visit at Quisisana is carried out within an excellent structure, characterized by a high degree of selectivity in the choice of its specialists. It is possible to book a visit with Dr. Nicola Stucci for a fee, or access the service through the USL Ferrara with only the payment of the “ticket”.
How does the endocrinological examination take place? During the visit, the doctor asks the patient what are the dysfunctions to which he is subject and the presence of any familiarity. Weight, height, blood pressure and heart rate data are then acquired. If the disorder concerns the thyroid gland, the only externally perceptible endocrine glands, the doctor will perform a palpation. Otherwise it will prescribe specific tests such as ultrasound, computerized nuclear resonance or CT scan, useful for verifying the possible presence of altered values.
The endocrinological visit can last from 20 to 40 minutes, and does not require any particular preparation. However, it is advisable to bring any previous test results with you.

The endocrinologist is able to diagnose and treat a large number of pathologies, very often resulting from an excess or deficiency of hormones. To do this, in addition to the medical history, he makes use of laboratory tests and diagnostic imaging. A correct diagnosis is obtained from the vision of the endocrine organs but also from the administration of agents that stimulate or inhibit the gland under investigation.
