DOCTORS' DIRECTORY

Endocrinology is the science of hormones; the people who study the behaviour of hormones are called endocrinologists. These specially trained physicians can detect diseases related to the glands. Although general practitioners are experts about the human body, for conditions and diseases related to the glands, patients are often sent to an endocrinologist.

So, what does an endocrinology expert do? Endocrinologists treat patients with hormonal imbalances—typically glands found in the endocrine system. The goal is to restore the balance of hormones in the patient’s body. Some of the most common health issues treated by endocrinologists include:

• Diabetes
• Osteoporosis and bone health
• Adrenal disorder
• Heart problems
• Pituitary irregularities
• Hormone-related reproductive health issues (e.g. testosterone levels, infertility, menstrual problems, menopause)
• Weight and metabolism
• Thyroid disorder
