Endocrinology Consultation
The endocrine system is made up of ten glands that produce hormones to regulate many of the body’s functions, such as metabolism, growth, and reproduction. In order to assess function, laboratory methods, such as blood tests, are needed to monitor, diagnose and treat diseases of the endocrine glands, as well as disorders of the hormone glands, metabolism, and reproductive health issues. Endocrinologists specialize in diagnosing and treating many conditions, such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, hormonal imbalances, and metabolic conditions. Consultations with an endocrinologist not only play an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions, but they are also crucial in educating the patient on lifestyle changes required to prevent the condition from worsening or to hasten the treatment process.
The results of an endocrinology consultation vary from person to person. Some people may find out that they require immediate treatment, while others may have a well functioning endocrine system and only need to continue living a healthy lifestyle.
