Endocrinology is an area of medicine focusing on the study of the endocrine system and hormones. Our hormones are produced by the endocrine glands and endocrine organs, including the thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, hypothalamus, adrenal glands, pituitary gland, pineal gland, pancreas, ovaries and testes.
Hormones are chemical messengers, secreted into our blood from the endocrine glands, which affect the way our body functions. They affect our blood sugar, metabolism, sleep, fertility and much more, and help to maintain our overall wellbeing.
Endocrinologists are doctors who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases related to the endocrine system and hormones. They study the way our hormones interact with each other and the influence they have on our bodily functions. Endocrinologists use a variety of tests to measure hormone levels and to diagnose and treat endocrine system disorders. They play an important role in maintaining our overall health by providing advice on diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes.
