Endocrinology Treatment in Hyderabad

Endocrinology is a branch of medicine that is concerned with hormone-related diseases. The endocrine system is a network of glands that are responsible for secreting hormones directly into the bloodstream to different tissues in the body. Hormones are chemical messengers formed by the body. These endocrine hormones are secreted within the tissue and enter the bloodstream through capillaries.

The important glands in the endocrine system include – thyroid, pituitary, adrenal, ovaries, testes and pancreas. The hormones secreted by endocrine glands are used by the body to control many functions such as Respiration, Metabolism, Reproduction, Sensory perception, Movement, Sexual development and growth.

Endocrine diseases usually occur when endocrine glands produce high levels of hormones or low levels of hormones. Hormone or endocrine diseases may also occur if your body does not respond to hormones in the manner in which it should. The endocrine glands secrete various hormones which also affect mood in men and women. Even though they have the same hormones, the levels of particular hormones are different. Hormone diseases directly affect the glands of the endocrine system so, it is important to understand the conditions related to the endocrine system for the well-being of your health.

The most common endocrine disease is diabetes. Other conditions include obesity, short stature, thyroid, osteoporosis, hypertension, adrenal disorders, heart problems include – high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and triglycerides.

    • Diabetes occurs when the pancreas does not produce an adequate amount of hormone called insulin or the body does not respond properly to insulin and causes an imbalance between the effects of insulin and glucagon.
    • Infertility occurs in both men and women. In men, infertility is a condition when men fail to produce an adequate amount of sperm for reproduction or when there is a decline of the male sex hormone testosterone. In women, infertility is a condition when there is a decline in female sex hormones such as progesterone and estrogen.
    • Osteoporosis is a disease associated with the bones, occurs when bones lose density and become weak with abnormal structure and increased risk of fracture.
    • Thyroid conditions: Thyroid gland is a part of the endocrine system, responsible to produce two thyroid hormones (triiodothyronine and thyroxine) which have a direct impact on metabolism and weight. It can cause weight gain or loss based on hormonal imbalance and the impact on energy levels. The two types of thyroid conditions are as mentioned below:
      • Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland produces an excess amount of thyroxine hormone.
      • Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland does not produce sufficient amount of thyroid hormones.
    • Obesity is a condition that results from hormonal imbalance and causes abnormal metabolism and accumulation of fat in the body.
    • Menopause is a condition caused due to the decline of estrogen level in women.
    • Endocrine cancer is usually found in tissues of the endocrine system, that includes:
      • Adrenal Tumor: The cancerous or non-cancerous tumours developed in the adrenal gland.
      • Neuroendocrine Tumor: The tumor that affects the functioning of cells within the brain and nervous system are referred to as neuroendocrine tumor.
      • Thyroid cancer: It is a type of cancer that occurs in the thyroid gland when cancer cells (malignant) form in the tissues of the thyroid gland.
    • Pituitary disorders: Pituitary gland is the master gland of the body which produces hormones that travel throughout the body. The most common type of pituitary disorder is a pituitary gland tumor which is seen in adults. The two types of pituitary tumors – secretory tumor that produces an excess  amount of pituitary hormones whereas non-secretory tumor does not.
    • Cushing’s syndrome is a disease associated with the hormonal condition. It is caused by the pituitary tumor which results in excessive production of adrenocorticotropic hormone.
    • Grave’s syndrome is a disease associated with your immune system that results in excessive production of thyroid hormones and causes hyperthyroidism.
    • Cystic fibrosis is a hereditary disease that affects exocrine glands that include mucus and sweat gland. It mostly affects lungs, liver, pancreas, liver, intestines, sinuses and sex organs.
    • Growth, Development and Puberty problems lead to physical changes of the body. As hormones play a vital role in the development and growth of children and teens, including puberty stage. Some disorders will have an impact on the growth and development of the child. Therefore, early detection of problems is better before they can result in severity or long term problem.
