Endocrinology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the endocrine system, which consists of glands that produce and secrete hormones. These hormones regulate many vital bodily functions, including metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, and mood. Endocrinologists diagnose and treat hormone imbalances and disorders related to the endocrine system.
