Endocrinology is one of the fundamental branches of modern medicine that studies the functions of the human body’s endocrine system and its pathologies. The endocrine system includes glands that produce hormones. These hormones regulate vital processes such as metabolism, growth, development, reproduction, and mood. Endocrinologists specialize in the diagnosis and management of hormonal disorders, including common diseases such as diabetes, thyroid pathologies, and others. Their role is critical not only in treating these diseases but also in their prevention and improving the quality of life of patients.

An endocrinologist is a specialist who studies and treats changes in the function of internal secretion (endocrine glands).

The main diseases of endocrinology include: diabetes mellitus (both type 1 and type 2), thyroid diseases (hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism), osteoporosis, pituitary gland disorders, adrenal gland diseases (Cushing’s syndrome, Addison’s disease), polycystic ovary syndrome, and others. These diseases often have a variety of symptoms and require a complex approach to diagnosis and treatment. Timely detection and adequate therapy ensure the effective management of these diseases and improve the health of patients.
