Endocrine disorders refer to a wide range of medical conditions caused by imbalances or dysfunctions in the body’s hormone-producing glands, such as the thyroid, pancreas, adrenal glands, pituitary gland, and reproductive organs. A Consultant Physician in Internal Medicine plays a key role in diagnosing and managing these disorders, which include diabetes, thyroid diseases (like hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism), adrenal insufficiency, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), osteoporosis, and hormonal imbalances.
Using a combination of detailed history, blood tests, imaging, and hormone level assessments, the physician formulates personalized treatment strategies involving medications, lifestyle changes, and long-term monitoring. The goal is to restore hormonal balance, prevent complications, and improve overall well-being.
