Endocrinology is a specialty of medical science that
deals with the disorders of endocrine system. The endocrine system
collectively comprises of the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid and
parathyroid glands, pancreas, gonads, and adrenal cortex. These
hormone-producing glands are responsible for various functions such as
metabolism, growth, sexual development and more. When the hormones fall out
of balance, it may give rise to various abnormalities and disorders that may
sometimes prove to be fatal.

number of hormone-related conditions. The endocrine system producing too
few, or too many, hormones, causes many of these conditions. The hospital
