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.
