Endocrinology

Endocrinology is concerned with the study of the endocrine system (glands and hormones). This is the system that deals with the secretion of hormones. An endocrinologist is someone who diagnosis and treats problems related to hormones. 

Hormones are substances, which are secreted in our body that help sustain and develop a number of bodily functions. Some of them include: 
  • Sexual development
  • Respiration
  • Metabolism 
  • Reproduction 
  • Movement 
  • Growth 
These hormones are produced and secreted by different glands throughout the human body. Hormonal problems usually occur when glands produce and secrete inappropriate amounts of hormones in the blood stream. 
There are many diseases solely related to hormones and their disorders. Some of them include: 
  • Tumors
  • Gland hyper-secretion- when excess hormones are secreted
  • Gland hypo-secretion- under there is a deficient supply of hormones secreted 
Although the over or under secretion of a hormone may feel harmless, they may have lasting effects on the well-being and overall health of an individual. Some hormonal problems have drastic effects such as a lifetime dependency on drugs/medication and infertility.  
 
The study of hormones is complex as putting a finger on the right symptoms and identifying these and their cause is much more complicated. Endocrinologists are experts in the field and therefore are much likely to give a more reliable consultation on the basis of certain results. The core responsibility of an endocrinologist is to identify the problem and then prescribe treatments to restore the correct balance of hormones.
