What is Endocrinology?
Endocrinology is the medical speciality that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases related to the endocrine system.

Hormones are chemical messengers that travel through the bloodstream and affect the function of different organs. An endocrinologist is a medical doctor who specialises in treating hormonal imbalances and disorders.

An endocrinologist is a medical doctor who has completed specialised training in endocrinology after completing medical school. Endocrinologists have in-depth knowledge of the endocrine system, its various organs, and the hormones they produce. They diagnose and treat disorders related to hormonal imbalances, including diabetes, thyroid disorders, osteoporosis, infertility, and pituitary gland disorders.

2. Ultrasound: To detect abnormalities in the thyroid or other glands
3. Biopsy: To collect tissue samples from the thyroid or other glands for further analysis

The Role of an Endocrinologist in Healthcare
