Endocrinology

Endocrinology is the area of medicine that relates to the system that controls hormones.

Endocrinologists are specially trained to identify hard-to-spot symptoms that come with hormonal imbalances.

Common Symptoms for Hormonal Imbalances:

  • Weight Gain
  • Sudden or Unexplained Weight Loss
  • Fatigue
  • Weakened Muscles
  • Muscle Aches or Tenderness
  • Stiffness in the Joints
  • Sweating
  • Sensitivity to Cold Or Heat
  • Frequent Urination
  • Increased Hunger or Thirst
  • Decreased Sex Drive
  • Anxiety

Most patients will be referred to an endocrinologist by their primary care provider if the patient’s test results point to a hormonal issue. The endocrinologist’s goal is to restore the hormonal balance in the body to relieve your symptoms. Your treatment may include medication or lifestyle changes.
