Endocrinology is the study of the endocrine glands — the glands that produce and secrete hormones that help regulate bodily functions. The thyroid, pancreas, adrenal and pituitary glands are endocrine glands. An endocrinologist is a doctor who specializes in diseases related to the endocrine glands. When a gland produces a hormone at unusual amounts — whether more or less than usual — it can lead to medical conditions such as thyroid disorders, diabetes, cancer and infertility. Out of these, diabetes is the most common endocrine disease. The treatment plan for these diseases would typically target restoring the hormonal balance in your system.
Generally, a patient is referred to an endocrinologist by their family doctor when the provider spots a potential problem after running tests. However, if you’re having a hard time managing your diabetes, or if you have been diagnosed with conditions like metabolic diseases, infertility, hormonal imbalances, osteoporosis or a thyroid disorder, it is best-advised to go in for an endocrinology consultation.
Read “The Value of an Endocrinology” by the Endocrine Society to learn more about the benefits of visiting an endocrinologist.
While a general physician can help you manage the symptoms of diabetes, they may refer you to an endocrinologist when there are complications brought on by diabetes or the treatment isn’t working and the condition has gotten tough to manage.
Some of the common conditions treated by endocrinologists include:
An endocrinologist must successfully complete four years of medical school before being accepted into a residency program. This postgraduate training (residency) can last from three to four years. Upon completing that, the individual can go on to get licensed from their respective state.
The consultation and treatment costs might vary based on your condition, location and insurance provider.
