Endocrinology and Endocrinologist

Body temperature, sleep, mood, stress, growth, reproduction, metabolism, all day to day activities of the human body are controlled by hormones. The study of hormones is known as Endocrinology. The endocrine glands direct the hormones. These glands aid in coordinating and directing the day-to-day activities of a body. Endocrinology involves the hypothalamus, adrenal gland, testes, and ovaries.

Doctors who show specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of body conditions related to the body's hormones, glands, and related tissues are endocrinologists. Any imbalance or problems with endocrine glands, the illness has a treatment.

There are different kinds of endocrine disorders-

• Polycystic ovary syndrome – Commonly known as PCOS is one of the leading causes of adrenal. It happens when there is overproduction of androgens. These androgens interfere with the growth of eggs and the impact release from the female ovaries.
• Precocious puberty- It is a condition when early puberty occurrence happens. Abnormally early puberty occurs when glands tell the body to release sex hormones too soon in life.
• Adrenal insufficiency- It will show symptoms like dehydration, skin changes, fatigue, and stomach upset.
• Gigantism {acromegaly)her growth hormone problems- These problems refer to a child's hormone where if the growth hormone levels are high, there can be growth rate at an abnormally fast pace and vice versa when growth hormone levels are low.
• Hyperthyroidism- Under this disorder, the thyroid gland produces higher thyroid hormone. It results in higher heart rates, anxiousness, weight loss, and sweating
• Cushing disease – It occurs in children taking corticosteroid medicines.

List of treatments

Thyroidectomy is the surgery of removal of part or entire thyroid gland. This surgery treats thyroid disorders. Thyroidectomy is effective for noncancerous enlargement of the thyroid (goiter), overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), and cancer. Below are three kinds of Thyroidectomy procedure to ponder at-

• Conventional Thyroidectomy- Known as the most common method in Thyroidectomy, under this process, there is an incision made in the center of the neck that gets access directly to the thyroid gland.
• Transoral Thyroidectomy. In this course, instead of the incision in the neck, it is done inside the mouth.
• Endoscopic Thyroidectomy- Using surgical instruments and a small video camera in this procedure. Relatively smaller incisions are done in the neck. The instruments are inserted in these incisions to guide the surgeon for the procedure.

Takeaway

Depending upon the kind of treatment a patient has undergone, a regular check-up is necessary. For some patients, removal of only a part of the thyroid gland is done. In medical terms, it is known as a partial thyroidectomy. On the condition where the thyroid is removed entirely, the patient will have to visit the doctor regularly and undergo treatment.
