Hyperparathyroidism is a hormonal condition where the parathyroid glands produce too much parathyroid hormone, which can affect calcium levels in the body and lead to a range of symptoms that can affect people in different ways, depending on the severity of symptoms and how well it is managed. In the UK, around 30,000 people live with the condition.
Most people with hyperparathyroidism continue to travel as normal, and with a little planning and proper management of the condition, it is done safely and confidently.
Why travel insurance matters if you have hyperparathyroidism:
- Emergency medical treatment and hospital care abroad
- Medical transport or repatriation back to the UK if required
- Cancellation cover if you are unable to travel due to your condition
- 24-hour medical assistance while you are abroad
Travel advice for people with an endocrine condition like hyperparathyroidism

- Maintain regular eating and medication routines while travelling
- Check you have enough supplies for the whole trip
- Seek medical advice before travelling if your hyperparathyroidism symptoms have recently changed
If you have been diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism, you might need to declare it when applying for travel insurance. Take care to read the medical declaration fully, so the details you give about your hyperparathyroidism are complete.
Travel insurance is still available if you have hyperparathyroidism. The cover offered depends on how the condition affects you and how well it is controlled, and clear, accurate answers in your medical declaration help make sure the right cover is arranged.
