Endocrinology is the study of hormones and endocrine glands and organs. Hormone-secreting glands and certain organs in your body make up your endocrine system. A hormone is a chemical messenger that travels from one endocrine gland or organ in your body to another part of your body through your blood.
Endocrinology is the study of hormones. Hormones are essential for our every-day survival. They control our temperature, sleep, mood, stress, growth and more. An endocrinologist is a doctor that treats diseases related to problems with hormones.
The endocrine hormones help control mood, growth and development, the way our organs work, metabolism , and reproduction. The endocrine system regulates how much of each hormone is released.
Endocrinologists are qualified doctors who diagnose and treat conditions like diabetes, thyroid anomalies, infertility, growth issues, metabolic disorders, osteoporosis, certain cancers, and disorders in the hormone-producing adrenal glands and pituitary glands.
