An e-visit to the endocrinologist is a convenient form of consultation with a specialist when a patient wants to discuss symptoms that suggest hormonal problems or treatment-related issues. It is important to properly prepare for endocrinology teleconsultation, taking into account information about current treatment and current health problems. What should we remember when making an e-appointment with an endocrinologist?
When to go to an endocrinologist on a TV visit?
The screening of the endocrinologist can take the form of a phone call or an online video chat. During such consultation, the doctor may interview the patient or discuss the current treatment. For this reason, it is worth using an e-visit when we need prescription drugs or want to interpret test results.
Patients who have not previously received endocrine treatment and suspect hormonal problems can start diagnostics with an e-visit to an internist. It is worth reporting directly to the endocrinologist if you have the following symptoms:
- constant fatigue and excessive sleepiness;
- stimulation;
- frequent headaches;
- weight fluctuations – a sudden decrease or increase in weight;
- bothersome skin changes, including dryness, oily skin, but also discoloration or sudden appearance of acne;
- hair loss;
- hot flushes, increased sweating;
- excessive body hair.
In the case of the above-mentioned symptoms, and especially several of them simultaneously, e-consultation with an endocrinologist is recommended, and tests will probably also be recommended.
How to make an e-visit to the endocrinologist?
E-visit is a remote medical consultation. For this reason, in the case of a television visit with an endocrinologist booked privately, first select the doctor and the date of the interview, and then pay for the service. On the day of the visit, at the selected time, we will take part in an online or telephone consultation, we will receive advice, as well as a diagnosis, e-prescription or e-referral.

What to prepare before an e-visit to an endocrinologist?
The process of registering for an e-appointment itself is not complicated, but you should not forget about the next stage, which is preparation for the conversation with the doctor. The endocrinologist will want to conduct a standard one interview with the patienttherefore it is important to think about the points that may be raised during the consultation. You should inform the specialist not only about the symptoms, but also about the medications you are taking, the current treatment, recent tests, and other diseases for which you are treating.

In order to take advantage of an endocrine visit, the patient should prepare and send the test results and documentation from previous hospitalization in advance.
Earlier provision of medical documentation to the doctor will improve the course of the visit and will also allow the doctor to more accurately assess the patient’s health. We should also have our PESEL number on hand, which may be needed to verify identity, as well as to issue an electronic prescription, referral or release.
How to avoid problems during e-visit?
By preparing in advance for an e-visit with an endocrinologist, we can avoid several types of problems when talking to a doctor. The first is the difficulty in establishing a connection. Depending on the type of consultation we have chosen, we should ensure a good quality of the Internet connection or choose a place with good network coverage. In the case of video contact, you will need a working webcam and microphone. Another issue is choosing a quiet and secluded place where no one will interfere with the conversation with the endocrinologist.
A carefully planned visit will take place without unnecessary stress, and at the same time will facilitate the doctor’s work and provide the best-quality advice.
