What is Endocrinology?

Endocrinology is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of the hormones and the endocrine system. Your body produces over 50 types of hormones, and these act as messengers in our bodies that help control many important functions, like growth, metabolism, sleep and mood. When your hormone levels are too high, too low, or imbalanced this can create disruption in your body’s functions. These conditions are diagnosed and treated by endocrinologists, and include amongst many,diabetes, thyroid conditions, metabolic conditions and endocrine cancers.
