Endocrinology is the branch of medicine that deals with the study of hormones and the endocrine system, which is a complex network of glands that secrete hormones into the bloodstream to regulate various bodily functions. Endocrinologists, medical doctors specializing in endocrinology, diagnose, treat, and manage disorders related to hormone imbalances or dysfunction. These disorders can affect many aspects of health, including metabolism, growth and development, reproduction, energy levels, mood, and sleep. Common endocrine disorders include diabetes, thyroid disorders, adrenal disorders, pituitary disorders, and reproductive disorders.
