The endocrine system is a system of glands that produce and manage hormones in the body.
Hormones function as chemical “messengers,” traveling through the cells and affecting the way other organs work.
A skilled endocrinologist can work with patients to understand their metabolic system — including why changes in their diet isn’t leading to weight loss. They can help men manage hormone concerns that impact sexual health, diagnose and treat thyroid disease — including hyperthyroidism, or overactive thyroids that can cause unexplained weight loss — and more.
Often, when traditional treatments from other specialists fail, patients will be referred to an endocrinologist for further evaluation to determine if hormone disorders are playing a role.
