Hyperparathyroidism
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Hyperparathyroidism is a disorder in which the parathyroid glands, located in the neck, produce too much parathyroid hormone, which disrupts the calcium balance in the body.
How it may show up: It usually progresses silently, although it may be accompanied by fatigue, weakness, bone pain, kidney stones, or digestive discomfort.
Frequent origin: In many cases it is related to the benign growth of one of the parathyroid glands.
Which specialist treats it? The endocrinologist is the one who studies and provides follow-up for this condition, and in certain situations the general surgeon is involved. If the studies show calcium disorders or you have symptoms like those described, it is worth having it assessed by a professional.
