Endocrinology

What is Endocrinology?

Endocrinology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the endocrine system, which includes glands that produce and release hormones. These hormones control many important functions in the body, such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, mood, and how the body uses energy.

Key glands in the endocrine system include:

• Pituitary gland
  
• Thyroid and parathyroid glands
  
• Adrenal glands
  
• The pancreas (which produces insulin)
  
• Ovaries (in women) and testes (in men)

Causes of Endocrine Disorders

Endocrine disorders occur when hormone levels are too high or too low, or when glands don’t function properly. Common causes include:

• Genetic conditions or family history
  
• Autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto’s or Type 1 diabetes
  
• Tumors or growths in endocrine glands
  
• Infections or injuries affecting the glands
  
• Chronic stress and poor lifestyle habits
  
• Hormonal imbalances due to aging or other health issues

At Heritage IMS Hospital, our specialists identify the root cause to provide precise and effective treatment.

How Is an Endocrine Disorder Diagnosed?

At Heritage IMS Hospital, diagnosing an endocrine disorder begins with a thorough medical history and physical examination. Based on your symptoms, our experts may recommend:

• Blood and urine tests to measure hormone levels
  
• Imaging tests like ultrasound, MRI, or CT scans to check the gland structure
  
• Stimulation or suppression tests to evaluate how glands respond to hormone signals
  
• Genetic testing for inherited endocrine conditions

Our advanced diagnostic tools help us detect hormonal imbalances early, ensuring timely and personalized treatment.
