What does endocrinology study?
Endocrinology treats diseases of the endocrine glands and hormones (thyroid, pituitary gland, adrenal glands, glucose metabolism), dealing with conditions that affect the metabolism and many of the body’s vital functions.
What are the symptoms of a thyroid dysfunction?
An endocrinology visit with thyroid ultrasound is recommended in the presence of non-specific symptoms linked to hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, such as: chronic fatigue and exhaustion, mood swings or anxiety, sudden changes in body weight without changes in diet, marked intolerance to cold or heat, hair loss and alterations in the regularity of the menstrual cycle.
