What makes our Endocrinology and Nutrition Service in Valencia unique
Main conditions we treat
At our Endocrinology and Nutrition Consultation in Valencia, we diagnose and treat all hormone-related conditions, with access to the most advanced imaging techniques and therapeutic options:
We provide our patients with diabetes access to the latest continuous glucose monitoring systems. With a cloud-based platform, our medical team supervises interstitial glucose levels 24 hours a day, allowing treatment to be adjusted individually whenever required.
After a comprehensive assessment of each person with obesity, and in coordination with other specialists such as pulmonologists, cardiologists and sports medicine physicians, we offer pharmacological treatments using the latest available analogues for weight management.
For the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, we offer complementary imaging tests in addition to blood analyses, such as thyroid ultrasound or thyroid scintigraphy (SPECT). In addition, our state-of-the-art ultrasound systems allow us to assess the presence of thyroid nodules with great precision.
After a comprehensive hormonal assessment to rule out other possible conditions, we offer the latest treatments for disorders related to alterations in sexual hormones. For example, testosterone replacement therapy for the management of hypogonadism, among others.
After a comprehensive clinical assessment and complementary tests to evaluate any potential risks, we offer gender-affirming hormone treatments for transgender individuals, including the administration of oestrogens and anti-androgens, as well as testosterone. We carry out continuous monitoring, assessing side effects and adjusting doses when necessary.

An endocrinologist is the specialist who diagnoses and treats hormonal and metabolic disorders. Some of the most common conditions include diabetes, thyroid disease, metabolic syndrome, cholesterol and triglyceride abnormalities, osteoporosis, growth and puberty disorders, and diseases of the adrenal or pituitary glands.
You should see an endocrinologist if you experience symptoms such as persistent fatigue, unexplained weight gain or loss, hair loss, menstrual irregularities, erectile dysfunction, excessive sweating or changes in appetite. You should also attend if your GP detects hormonal abnormalities in your blood tests or if you have a family history of diabetes or thyroid disease.
In addition, the natural ageing process is also associated with hormonal changes, such as andropause or menopause. In these cases, an endocrinological assessment can be highly beneficial, and together with other specialists we can help improve our patients’ physical and psychological well-being.
An endocrinologist is a medical specialist who diagnoses and treats hormonal and metabolic diseases, and who can prescribe medical treatments as well as indicate the need for surgical treatment together with the surgical team (as many patients must be assessed by an endocrinologist before undergoing surgery).
A nutritionist or dietitian–nutritionist, on the other hand, focuses on creating personalised nutrition plans to improve health, prevent disease or support medical treatment — an essential role that complements the work of the endocrinologist, and vice versa.
At Ascires Hospital, both professionals work together to provide a comprehensive, patient-centred approach.
At Ascires Hospital, this service offers a comprehensive approach that may include:
During the first endocrinology consultation at Ascires Hospital, a full medical history is taken, including a review of lifestyle habits, family history and any previous test results. The specialist may then request complementary tests (such as hormonal analyses or metabolic assessments) and design a personalised treatment plan, which may include medication, dietary changes or joint follow-up with the Nutrition team.
Ascires has the ENS certification with the MEDIA category for its medical centers in the Valencian Community and Madrid.
