What is the role of an endocrinologist?

An endocrinologist is a healthcare specialist who specializes in the field of endocrinology, which involves the study of hormone-related conditions. They diagnose endocrine disorders, create treatment plans, and prescribe medications for these conditions.

When is it appropriate to see an endocrinologist?

If you have been diagnosed with or exhibit symptoms of a medical condition that affects your hormones, your primary care physician may refer you to an endocrinologist. Common conditions treated by endocrinologists include thyroid disorders and diabetes.

I suspect I have a thyroid condition, but my test results are normal. What does this mean?

The Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) test is the most accurate and reliable test for thyroid function. If your TSH levels are normal, it suggests that you do not have a thyroid condition.

Do endocrinologists treat patients of all age groups?

Yes, they do. However, adult endocrinologists typically see patients who are 18 years and older.
