Endocrinology

Endocrinology is a medical specialty focused on the endocrine system—the glands and organs that produce hormones. These chemical messengers regulate vital functions like metabolism, growth, reproduction, sleep, and mood. Endocrinologists diagnose and treat disorders caused by hormonal imbalances affecting the thyroid, pituitary, adrenal glands, pancreas, and reproductive organs.
