The endocrine system includes the thyroid, pituitary, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries and testes. These hormones regulate important functions like metabolism, growth, mood, reproduction, sleep, and energy levels.

If the hormones are out of balance, various symptoms might arise.

Symptoms can include unexpected weight gain or loss, exhaustion, mood fluctuations, irregular periods, infertility, excessive thirst, hair loss or changes in blood pressure.

Diagnosis is based on a review of the person’s medical history, a physical exam, blood and urine tests, and imaging techniques to determine hormone levels and the activity of glands.  Treatment will depend on the underlying cause and may include hormone replacement treatment, drugs to modulate hormone production, lifestyle changes, nutritional support or surgery if needed. Proper management can restore hormonal balance, improve symptoms, and enhance long-term health and quality of life.
