Who is an Endocrinologist?
An endocrinologist is commonly known as the Hormone Doctor. There is a misconception about Hormones in the general public. People often think of hormones as estrogen and testosterone and that's all. They don't realize there are many more hormones in the body and every organ system in the body is controlled by hormones. Consequently, your health greatly depends on the normal functioning of your hormones.
An Endocrinologist is an MD (or MBBS) who after completing three years of clinical training in Internal Medicine, receives another two years of specialized clinical training in Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism.
What is a Hormone?
A hormone is a chemical produced in one part of the body that gets into blood circulation and exerts its affects on distant organs in the body.
The amount of a hormone produced is tightly regulated. There is an extraordinary system of "checks and balances" that ensures the normal production of hormones from day to day.
Manifestations of Hormonal disorders
An over-production or under-production of hormones adversely affects your body, giving rise to a variety of diseases, such as diabetes, thyroid disorders and osteoporosis, just to name a few.
Disorders of hormones can affect various parts of your body, giving rise to a large number of symptoms, such as fatigue, body aches and pains, excessive urination, excessive thirst, weight loss, weight gain, heat intolerance, cold intolerance, dizziness, headaches, high blood pressure, low blood pressure, palpitations, chest pain, cholesterol abnormalities, hair loss, bone fractures, menstrual irregularities, impotence, nervousness, insomnia, anxiety, depression and many more. In fact, almost any symptom in the body can be a manifestation of an endocrine disorder.
