Endocrinology

Medical endocrinologists are physicians who diagnose and treat conditions related to hormone and metabolism disorders.

For example :

• Thyroid disorder
• Cushing’s disease
• Polycystic ovaries
• Obesity
• Diabetes

Diagnostic tests undertaken by endocrinologists include :

• Blood tests
• Ultrasound scan
• CT scan
• MRI scan

The care of patients with endocrine problems often is very much a team approach. Endocrinologists work closely with radiologists and surgical endocrinologists.
