Treatment and Diagnosis of Endocrine Diseases

There are a good range of treatment options for endocrine disorders. This is often because diseases of the system vary widely in both type and severity. The system is formed from different hormone-producing glands, and disorders arise when one or more of them either produces an excessive amount of or insufficient of a particular hormone. In some cases, the resulting hormone imbalance could also be mild enough to travel unnoticed or barely noticed and not require treatment. In other cases, like with hyperthyroidism, patients may exhibit unpleasant symptoms, including anxiety, rapid heartbeat, and fatigue. Medications may be used to alleviate these symptoms and prevent potentially serious complications over the long-term. Diagnosis of Endocrine Diseases involves Hormone testing, Genetic testing, Imaging studies and Urine tests etc.
