Introduction
Endocrinology is the field of medicine covering the endocrine system and hormones, and if you face health issues from this, our Endocrinologist at Hospital Picaso will care for you.
The endocrine system consists of glands that produce hormones in the body, such as the adrenal, thyroid, pituitary, pancreas, parathyroids, ovaries (for female) and testes (for male). The hormones released by these glands affect many different functions including but not limited to:
- Glucose and blood pressure regulation
- Weight regulation
- Metabolism and general wellbeing
- Mood and sexual function
Any type of hormonal imbalance may affect the above functions. If this occurs, patients may require the Endocrinology services we offer here at Hospital Picaso.
