The Hidden Cause of Osteoporosis and High Calcium: Parathyroid Adenomas

The parathyroid glands, which regulate the calcium balance in our body, are four small glands about the size of a lentil located just behind the thyroid gland. Overactivity of one or more of these glands, known as hyperparathyroidism, can lead to elevated calcium levels in the blood and cause serious problems such as osteoporosis, kidney stones, and fatigue.

As Prof. Dr. Atakan Sezer, we apply targeted surgical methods in the treatment of parathyroid diseases at our clinic in Edirne. Accurate diagnosis and surgical experience are the most critical factors in the permanent treatment of this disease.

“Success in parathyroid surgery begins with seeing how a tiny gland can restore the body’s entire mineral balance.”

The modern approaches we apply for parathyroid adenomas in endocrine surgery are as follows:

• Precise Adenoma Detection: We accurately identify the location of the problematic gland through preoperative imaging methods and focus the surgery only on that specific area.
• Minimally Invasive Parathyroidectomy: With this method, performed through a very small incision, we minimize tissue damage.
• Hormone Monitoring: By monitoring hormone levels during or after the operation, we immediately confirm the success of the treatment.
• Adrenal Gland Follow-Up: With the awareness that the endocrine system functions as a whole, we also evaluate the health of other hormonal glands, such as the adrenal glands, with academic precision.

If you have unexplained fatigue, bone pain, or recurring kidney stones, the problem may be related to your parathyroid glands. With our academic discipline and surgical experience, we offer professional solutions to our patients in Edirne and the Balkans region in the treatment of these complex hormonal imbalances.
