Endocrinology studies hormone-producing glands such as the thyroid gland, pancreas, parathyroid glands, adrenal glands, pituitary gland, ovaries, and testes, as well as the diseases related to these organs.
All organs and functions are regulated by hormones. This system controls various bodily functions, including growth, metabolism, and hormonal balance.
Endocrine disorders can present with the following symptoms:
General weakness and fatigue; weight gain or loss; menstrual irregularities; changes in body hair (including hair loss); dry skin; excessive hair growth in women; acne; high blood pressure; irregular heartbeat; difficulty concentrating; mood swings; sweating; and constipation.
This is not an exhaustive list of symptoms—many others may indicate an underlying endocrine issue.
At first glance, it is not always obvious that a medical problem is hormonal in nature, and patients often go through a long and exhausting journey before reaching an endocrinologist.
