The endocrine system plays a vital role in the body, secreting hormones that circulate in the bloodstream, reaching various organs and cells, and controlling their functions. These hormones are responsible for the regulation of crucial functions of the body such as metabolism, electrolyte balance, growth, reproduction, sleep patterns, and mood. Even minor fluctuations in hormone production from a particular gland, which indicate malfunction of that gland, can significantly impact people’s health.
What is the most common disease treated by an endocrinologist?
The most common disease treated by endocrinologists is diabetes, a condition where the pancreas produces insufficient insulin, leading to elevated blood sugar levels, resulting in symptoms such as constant hunger, persistent thirst, and frequent urination.
Along with various thyroid disorders such as hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. Hypothyroidism results from inadequate thyroid hormone and is characterized by symptoms like fatigue and weight gain. On the other hand, hyperthyroidism is when the thyroid gland overproduces these hormones, marked by symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, excessive sweating, and weight loss.
Diabetes, in general, stands as the most common endocrine disorder, affecting millions of people worldwide. Thyroid disorders are consequently, the second most common endocrinological challenges.
What does an endocrinologist do?
Endocrinologists are experts in treating health issues related to the endocrine system, which orchestrates hormonal balance within the body. They specialize in diagnosing and managing conditions such as diabetes, thyroid complications, infertility, growth-related issues, metabolic syndromes, osteoporosis, certain cancers, and dysfunctions of the adrenal and pituitary glands.
When symptoms in the endocrine system arise from or are accompanied by other health issues, endocrinologists collaborate with primary care physicians and specialists to create a comprehensive treatment strategy.
Who checks hormone imbalance?
Understandably, hormonal health can be a complex journey. Whether the reproductive issues lead to a visit to a gynecologist or andrologist, or if a child’s growth problem leads them to a pediatrician. If the primary care physician identifies an endocrinological concern after examination, they will refer the patient to our endocrinology clinic. Our team works seamlessly, assessing and determining if the patient requires additional multidisciplinary intervention, for example, if a patient requires surgery as a part of their management plan. We direct them to the appropriate specialists, ensuring a well-coordinated journey toward wellness.
How do you check endocrine levels?
Endocrinologists, based on the patient’s condition after conducting a physical examination, typically order blood tests or urine samples to assess hormone levels. Since endocrine glands release hormones directly into the bloodstream and are eventually cleared into the urine. These tests provide valuable insights.
Certain hormone levels, like insulin, fluctuate throughout the day. Therefore, diabetes doctors may also recommend additional tests, such as glucose tolerance or insulin tolerance tests.
Our department is committed to being your partner in wellness.
