Endocrinology is a specialty that diagnoses, manages and treats a variety of diseases and disorders of the endocrine system-the system of glands in the body that secrete hormones like the thyroid or pancreas. The treatment goal is to maintain hormone balance. Patients dealing with menopause, diabetes, osteoporosis could benefit from endocrine treatments.
Hormone imbalances affect people both physically and mentally. They can be very frustrating as individuals do not feel like themselves without really understanding why. Endocrinologists study the endocrine system, what causes hormone imbalances, and how to remedy them. The research they gather is used by physicians and pharmacists to create treatments.
Some conditions that can benefit from treatment from an endocrinologist include:
Hormones affect numerous parts of the body, so much so that most endocrinologists spent 10 years training before beginning practice. Endocrinologists are highly valued not only for their education, but also for the noninvasive treatments their research has developed for diseases that were untreatable for years. Butler Health System is proud to have a team of skilled endocrine specialists working in this department.
