Treatment diseases of the endocrine system, eating disorders and metabolic disorders in Marianske Lazne

The development of spa-resort treatment of diseases of the endocrine system originates from the middle ages. The effect of treatment with various mineral waters has long been noticed. The first information about the resort treatment of diabetes mellitus dates back to the beginning of the XIX century, when the drinking treatment of bicarbonate-chloride sodium water with an increased iodine and lithium content of the Aloisk spring began to be applied in the Luhachovice resort (Czech Republic). In the middle of the XIX century the Czech resort of Karlovy Vary became popular among patients with diabetes, it was even called a “hospital for diabetics”. The beneficial effect of iodine-containing seafood on the state of the thyroid gland was known long before the discovery of the chemical element iodine. For medical rehabilitation, patients with diabetes mellitus in remission are sent when at least unstable compensation is achieved, patients with eating disorders that occur when there is an inadequate supply of food or certain nutrients, the body’s inability to absorb and metabolize nutrients or excessive consumption of certain foods. Patients with primary nutritional-constitutional obesity I-III degree without signs of cardiac decompensation, patients with mild forms of hypothyroidism, accompanied by thyroid obesity and dystrophic changes in the joints are sent to climatic and balneo-medical resorts. Patients with diffuse toxic goiter of light and moderate severity (after eliminating thyrotoxicosis) are sent to the climatic and balneotherapy resorts at any time, to the resorts of the southern coast of Crimea and the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus, excluding June-September. Patients with metabolic syndrome are sent to spa resorts (only in a spa hotel with specialized departments). In rehabilitation programs, patients use physical methods of treatment, exercise, diet, psychotherapy. Along with drinking water and other natural curative factors, patients must be prescribed therapeutic nutrition.
