ENDOCRINOLOGY

Introduction: Endocrinology is the study of medicine related to the endocrine system, a system that regulates hormones. Endocrinologists are specially trained doctors who diagnose glandular diseases. Because these doctors specialize in these conditions, which can be complex and in which the symptoms can be severe, an endocrinologist is your best lawyer when dealing with hormonal issues. Most patients begin their journey to the endocrinologist with a visit to their primary care provider or family doctor. These doctors will run a series of tests to see what potential problems the patient is facing. If a hormonal problem is suspected, the primary care physician will refer. The endocrinologist's goal is to restore the body's hormonal balance.
