Endocrinology

It is a branch of science that deals with the disorders that occur in the secretory products called hormones, produced by the endocrine glands and released into the blood from the endocrine glands, and diseases related to human metabolism.

Hormones are substances that affect our growth, reproduction, metabolism, body and mental health by showing different effects in all our organs. There are many hormones in the human body, and the numbers are increasing with the discovery of new hormones. Therefore, there are many diseases that endocrinology and metabolic diseases deals with. Thyroid diseases, diabetes, obesity, pilosity and reproductive disorders, metabolic bone diseases, endocrine hypertension are common diseases. Cholesterol and lipid metabolism disorders, which are diagnosed in childhood and which can be hereditary, are diseases that are diagnosed and followed up in the discipline of endocrinology and metabolism.

Endocrinologists are medical doctors who specialize in diagnosing and treating health conditions related to hormones. These doctors are your biggest support when dealing with hormonal issues that can be complex and difficult to identify.
