Endocrine Care for Pituitary and Adrenal Disorders

Diagnose the root. Balance the hormones. Support the whole person.
At Texas Diabetes & Endocrinology, our board-certified specialists diagnose and manage complex pituitary and adrenal gland disorders.

If you’re experiencing unexplained symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, or mood swings, or you’re searching for an adrenal doctor near you, we’re here to help you find answers.

What Are Pituitary and Adrenal Conditions?

The pituitary gland (often called the “master gland”) and the adrenal glands play key roles in regulating hormones that impact your metabolism, blood pressure, stress response, growth, fertility, and more.

Common adrenal and pituitary conditions we treat include:

  • Pituitary tumors (prolactinoma, non-functioning adenomas)
  • Adrenal nodules and incidentalomas
  • Cushing’s syndrome (too much cortisol)
  • Addison’s disease (adrenal insufficiency)
  • Hyperaldosteronism
  • Acromegaly
  • Congenital adrenal hyperplasia

 

If you’re unsure what kind of doctor treats adrenal glands or whether your symptoms point to a hormonal imbalance, our endocrinologists are highly trained in complex endocrine care.

Who It Affects

Pituitary and adrenal disorders can affect anyone—regardless of age or gender. Many conditions present with vague, overlapping symptoms that can easily be misdiagnosed.

You may benefit from evaluation if you’re experiencing:

  • Unexplained fatigue or weight gain
  • Irregular menstrual cycles or low libido
  • Chronic stress, low energy, or dizziness
  • High blood pressure or blood sugar fluctuations

 

Seeking an endocrinologist near you for adrenal function assessment? We specialize in diagnosing complex conditions. We will work with you to meticulously evaluate your symptoms and pinpoint whether they stem from a hormone imbalance or a different medical condition.
