Endocrinologist

An endocrinologist is a medical doctor who specializes in the endocrine system, which consists of glands that produce hormones that regulate various bodily functions, such as growth, metabolism, and mood. Common conditions treated by endocrinologists include diabetes, thyroid disorders, and hormonal imbalances. They use a combination of medical history, physical examinations, and laboratory tests to diagnose and manage these conditions, helping patients maintain overall health and well-being through appropriate treatment plans and monitoring.
