Insulin resistance is defined as the insensitivity of the body's cells to insulin, although there is sufficient amount of insulin in the blood. This causes an increase in the blood glucose level (hyperglycemia) and, accordingly, an increase in the level of insulin hormone in the blood (hyperinsulinemia). Insulin resistance can be a health problem that can develop on its own, but in some cases, it is accompanied by diseases that bring insulin resistance. Metabolic syndrome and polycystic ovary syndrome in women can be given as examples. The treatment of the disease is usually carried out in the form of drug applications within the framework of a plan to be recommended by endocrinology specialists. Additional treatment should be applied for secondary problems arising from high blood sugar for a long time.

Growth retardation, dwarfism, acromegaly, Cushing's syndrome, hyperprolactinemia, early menopause, and development of thyroid diseases may occur in cases such as pituitary failure and tumor formations related to the pituitary gland, which is the secretory gland in which important hormones such as growth hormone, prolactin, ACTH, TSH, FSH, LH are synthesized. . For this reason, it should be aimed to prevent permanent disorders by treating or controlling pituitary gland diseases with appropriate drug treatments and surgical operations when necessary.

Adrenaline, noradrenaline, cortisol, aldosterone and sex hormones are synthesized from the adrenal glands (adrenal glands) located in the upper part of both kidneys.There may be an increase or decrease in the amount of these hormones due to benign or malignant tumors in the adrenal glands.As a result, diseases such as hyperaldosteronism, Cushing's syndrome, hyperandrogenism and pheochromocytoma develop.Treatment includes drug applications and surgical options for tumors in the adrenal gland, as well as hormonal treatments.

The main cause of blood lipid metabolism diseases is the imbalance of the level of fat in the blood. High cholesterol and triglycerides can cause blood lipid metabolism diseases, as well as low good cholesterol, ie HDL, can cause these diseases.

Insufficient secretion of sex hormones due to endocrinological diseases is called hypogonadism. The problem of hypogonadism can cause hormonal diseases in the testicles in men and in the ovaries in women. Accordingly, the inability to complete the development of the sexual organ in men, erection problems; In women, ovarian cysts, polycystic ovary syndrome, ovulation disorders can be observed due to the ovaries not working as they should. Since all these conditions can lead to many health problems, especially infertility, hypogonadism patients should be supported with appropriate hormonal treatments.

Infertility is the situation in which a healthy pregnancy does not occur within a one-year period despite the regular intercourse of couples who want to have children. While it is necessary to wait for one year in young couples, it is recommended to start treatment without wasting time by waiting for one year in couples whose female age is over 35. Among the diseases that cause infertility in men, there are conditions such as low sperm count, duct obstructions, hormonal reasons, genetic diseases and varicocele, while in women, diseases such as irregular menstrual cycles, decreased egg reserves, high prolactin levels and early menopause can cause infertility. The problem of infertility can be eliminated most of the time, as long as egg and sperm production continues, with the use of drugs necessary for the treatment of underlying diseases and surgical operations to be applied when necessary.
