Endocrinology is the field of medicine that studies, diagnoses and treats disorders of the endocrine system, which is the system that controls hormones. The endocrine system comprises of glands that produce and secrete hormones. Hormones are key messengers in instructing how organs and bodily functions behave, both on their own and with other parts of the body.
Endocrine diseases develop when the glands don’t produce the right number of hormones.
Due to the importance of hormones in the human body, they are the cause of many disorders including but not limited to diabetes, thyroid conditions, appetite and obesity, certain cancers, bone problems and more.

Common endocrine conditions and health concerns that impact the endocrine system we treat include:
Depending on the cause of your hormonal issues, your endocrinologist may collaborate with professionals from other specialities such as gynaecologists, urologists, or oncologists. This is to ensure you are always being seen by a healthcare professional highly qualified in the area of medicine that relates to your individual health concern.
If you experience one or more endocrine conditions or experience ongoing symptoms, such as tiredness, weight changes, mood swings, irregular periods, or issues managing your blood sugar, you may benefit from seeing an endocrinologist.
They can help identify and diagnose these symptoms and can help manage your condition, if you our found to have a concern that impacts your endocrine system.
During your initial appointment, your endocrinologist will talk with you about your symptoms, family and medical history, and lifestyle habits. They can help investigate what is troubling you and help understand your condition better.
If your endocrinologist suspects you may have a health concern connected to your endocrine system, they may send you through for further tests. Further investigations can include blood tests, urine tests, imaging tests such as an MRI, CT, or an ultrasound, or, in some cases, genetic testing via a blood sample.
Your specialist will advise you on what the best course of action will be and what future steps will be taken to help ease your symptoms.
Your treatment options will depend on what the cause of your condition is and how it impacts your endocrine system.
You may be given treatment to help balance your hormones, supress excess hormones, or reduce/remove abnormal tissue causing hormonal imbalance. Options can include lifestyle changes, medication, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or surgery interventions.
Your endocrinologist will tailor your treatment based on your individual needs and preferences. You will be able to discuss this decision with your specialist before starting treatment.
