Endocrinology

Endocrinology is the branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis and management of disorders of the endocrine glands, which secrete hormones regulating metabolism, growth, reproduction, and many other functions. Endocrinologists manage both common chronic conditions (like diabetes) and rare hormonal syndromes (like pheochromocytoma or MEN syndromes).
