What is endocrinology?

Endocrinology is a medical specialty that studies and treats medical conditions related to the endocrine system.

The endocrine system is a network of hormone-producing glands. These glands function as a system to communicate with each other so as to coordinate and control many bodily activities and functions. These include:

Growth
Fertility
Metabolism and weight
Blood sugar control
Managing stress
Bone

When parts of the endocrine system do not work, it can lead to health problems.

Endocrinologists specialise in diagnosing and treating health conditions related to endocrine glands and hormones.
