ENDOCRINOLOGY

Hormones are responsible for performing many functions in the body. Endocrine (hormonal) system is formed by endocrine glands, which provide the production of hormones. The pituitary, hypothalamus, thyroid and parathyroid glands, pancreas, ovaries and testicles, adrenal glands, and endothelial cells that cover the inner surface of the vessels are the glands that make up the endocrine system. Insufficient secretion, no secretion or excessive secretion of hormones produced and secreted in the endocrine glands cause hormonal diseases. Many diseases such as deficiencies in vitamin and mineral absorption, sexual diseases, diabetes, obesity and goiter fall under the specialty of endocrine system diseases Endocrinology and Metabolism Diseases clinics. At the same time, diagnosis and treatment of congenital fat, carbohydrate and protein metabolism diseases mostly due to hereditary factors are also carried out by Endocrinology and Metabolism Diseases clinics.
