About Your Endocrine System
By taking care of your body’s important endocrine system, you are taking an essential step in caring for your overall health. Made up of a network of glands located at various points throughout your body that produce hormones, your endocrine system silently regulates many of your body’s functions—from how it metabolizes food to how you grow, and even how fast your heart beats. If your endocrine system becomes diseased or imbalanced, it is essential that you see an endocrinologist to determine the cause. Some of these conditions can be treated with observation or mediation, however, frequently surgical removal of the endocrine gland is the best way to achieve a cure. Our endocrine surgeons offer a variety of unique and highly effective options to treat your condition.
