Wermer Syndrome treatment in Aguascalientes

When tumors in hormone-producing glands recur in a family, Wermer syndrome may be considered, an inherited condition that predisposes to abnormal growth of several of these glands throughout life.

What it involves: It usually affects glands such as the parathyroids, the pancreas and the pituitary in combination, which can translate into different hormonal imbalances.

Signs that may appear: Abnormalities in calcium levels, digestive complaints or symptoms linked to an excess of certain hormones, depending on the glands involved.

Who to see about it? The endocrinologist is the professional who studies this group of glands and guides the follow-up. If there is a family history of hormonal tumors, raising the case with this specialist allows for a careful and timely approach.
