Let’s talk a little bit about Endocrinology. The word comes from the Greek word endon meaning “within” and the Greek word krinein which means ‘to separate”. Endocrinology is a specialized medicine covering a sub-specialty of internal medicine dealing with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases related to hormones. It covers human functions such as the coordination of your metabolism, respiration, reproduction, sensory perception, and movement. Endocrinology focuses on the endocrine glands and tissues that secrete hormones. The human endocrine system consists of a number of glands that produce and secrete hormones which control the body’s metabolism, growth, sexual development and function. These hormones travel through the glands and enter the bloodstream which are then transported to organs and tissues in every part of the body.
