What is endocrinology?
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.
