Endocrinology is a branch of medicine that deals with the endocrine system, which controls the hormones in your body.

Endocrinologists treat people who suffer from hormonal imbalances, typically from glands in the endocrine system. The overall goal of treatment is to restore the normal balance of hormones found in a patient's body.

The department of Endocrinology focuses on the diagnosis and management of disorders related to hormones. The department treats a full range of endocrine diseases and hormone issues such as

• Diabetes mellitus
• Thyroid dysfunction
• Polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD)
• Lipid disorders
• Metabolic abnormalities
• Obesity or Adiposity-Based Chronic Disease (ABCD)
• Sexual function and reproduction
• Pituitary Disorders
• Growth disorders
• Osteoporosis
• Adrenal disorders

Endocrinologists work to ensure that the different systems in the body communicate well with each other by correcting hormonal imbalances and also perform a series of tests to understand the problem, determine the best treatment and help patients with lifestyle changes (when possible) that can improve the medical condition.
