ENDOCRINOLOGY

The science of endocrinology is concerned with the function, problems and treatment of the endocrine glands. The amount of hormones we produce has a big impact on our bodies, so it is important to see a specialist as soon as possible if there are any changes to your body. Because our glands work by a very complex mechanism, finding the cause of problems is a complex task. Symptoms can be varied, so it is often difficult to identify the cause immediately. The difficulty is that we don't always remember that we need the expertise of an endocrinologist when we notice symptoms. This is why it is important that other medical specialties recognise the need and propose an endocrinological consultation in time.
