What is Endocrinology?
Endocrinology is a branch of medicine dedicated to the endocrine system — hormone-producing glands including the thyroid gland, pancreas, adrenal glands, pituitary gland, ovaries, and testes. Hormones act as chemical messengers, regulating virtually all body functions. An endocrinologist specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders arising from overproduction or underproduction of hormones, leading to conditions such as diabetes, thyroid diseases, obesity, osteoporosis, and infertility.
When Should You Consult an Endocrinologist?
Common Symptoms of Hormonal Imbalance:
- Unexplained weight changes – sudden gain or loss with stable nutrition
- Constant fatigue and weakness – not resolving after sleep or rest
- Mood changes, anxiety, depression – without an obvious psychological cause
- Sleep disturbances – insomnia or excessive sleepiness
- Heart rate changes – palpitations, arrhythmia
- Temperature sensitivity – constant feeling of heat or cold
- Skin and hair changes – dry skin, hair loss, thinning eyebrows, acne
- Menstrual cycle irregularities – heavy, scant, or absent periods
- Increased thirst and urination – possible signs of diabetes
- Muscle weakness or pain – especially at normal activity levels
Conditions and Risk Factors Requiring Specialist Care:
- Diabetes Mellitus – Type 1 and 2, gestational diabetes, prediabetes
- Thyroid Gland Diseases – hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves' disease, nodules, goiter
- Metabolic Syndrome – combination of high blood pressure, elevated blood sugar, excess weight
- Adrenal Gland Diseases – Addison's disease, Cushing's syndrome, adrenal insufficiency
