Endocrinology is a field of study for doctors concerning our body's system of glands (thyroid, pancreas, pituitary, ovaries, and adrenals) and hormones. Our glands release hormones that are necessary for a balanced and healthy body. When our glands stop functioning correctly we can start developing problems such as hypo- and hyper-thyroidism, diabetes, infertility, bone disorders and obesity.
