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.

- 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.
