Endocrine disorders

Overview

Endocrine problems have an impact on the endocrine system. This system employs glands located throughout the body to manufacture and release hormones that influence a variety of biological functions. An endocrine problem occurs when hormone levels are too high or too low, or when the body does not respond properly to hormones.

Tumors, hereditary factors, and hormonal imbalances are all potential causes of endocrine diseases. Because these conditions affect hormones, they can cause a variety of symptoms and have an impact on growth and development, metabolism, sexual function, and mood.
