Hypoparathyroidism
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Hypoparathyroidism is a disorder in which the parathyroid glands produce an insufficient amount of parathyroid hormone, which is responsible for regulating calcium and phosphorus levels in the body.
Frequent symptoms: It may be accompanied by tingling in the hands and face, cramps or muscle contractions, as well as fatigue, due to the imbalance of these minerals.
Common causes: It is often related to injury or changes to the parathyroid glands after neck procedures, though other possible origins exist.
Which specialist treats it? The one who studies this condition is the endocrinologist, and in minors the pediatric endocrinologist. If you notice these symptoms persistently, consider seeing a doctor for an appropriate review.
