Endocrinology

The scope of services of endocrinology involves the diagnosis, treatment, and management of disorders related to the endocrine system, which includes glands that produce hormones. Endocrinologists are medical specialists who deal with a variety of conditions affecting hormone-producing glands such as the thyroid, adrenal glands, pituitary gland, pancreas, and reproductive glands (ovaries and testes). 

Here are key areas and services within Endocrinology:

Thyroid Disorders
  • Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism
  • Thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer
  • Thyroiditis (e.g., Hashimoto's thyroiditis)
  • Goiter (enlargement of the thyroid gland)
Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders
  • Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes management
  • Gestational diabetes
  • Insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome
  • Hyperlipidemia and other lipid disorders
Adrenal Gland Disorders
 
  • Addison's disease (adrenal insufficiency)
  • Cushing's syndrome (excess cortisol)
  • Adrenal tumors (benign and malignant)
  • Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Pituitary Gland Disorders
 
  • Pituitary tumors (adenomas)
  • Acromegaly and gigantism (excess growth hormone)
  • Hypopituitarism (reduced pituitary function)
  • Diabetes insipidus
Reproductive and Gonadal Disorders
  • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
  • Menstrual disorders and infertility
  • Hypogonadism (reduced function of gonads)
  • Menopause and andropause management
Bone and Calcium Disorders
  • Osteoporosis and osteopenia
  • Hyperparathyroidism and hypoparathyroidism
  • Rickets and osteomalacia

  • Glucagonoma and other rare pancreatic tumors
Growth Disorders
  • Short stature and growth hormone deficiency
  • Precocious puberty (early puberty) and delayed puberty
Lipid Disorders
  • Hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia
  • Familial lipid disorders
Obesity and Weight Management
 
  • Evaluation and treatment of obesity
  • Hormonal factors contributing to weight gain
Genetic and Congenital Endocrine Disorders
  • Congenital hypothyroidism
  • Multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) syndromes
Hormone Replacement Therapy
  • Management of hormone deficiencies (e.g., thyroid hormone, cortisol, sex hormones)
Endocrinologists work closely with primary care physicians, surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, and other specialists to provide comprehensive care. They also utilize various diagnostic tests, including blood tests, imaging studies (such as ultrasound, CT scans, and MRI), and biopsy procedures to diagnose and monitor endocrine disorders.
