What is the role of an endocrinologist?

An endocrinologist refers to a healthcare professional specializing in endocrinology, a domain of medicine that analyzes the conditions of your hormones. They further diagnose endocrine conditions, develop management and treatment plans for them and also prescribe medications.

When it is feasible to see an endocrinologist?

If you have been diagnosed with, or have signs of, a medical condition impacting your hormones, your physician will refer you to an endocrinologist. Some of the most general conditions treated by endocrinologists are thyroid disorders and diabetes.

I believe I have a thyroid condition. But, my tests come out to be normal. What does it indicate?
