What Does an Endocrinologist Do?

An endocrinologist is a specialized healthcare professional in the field of endocrinology, which focuses on the study of hormone-related conditions. They are responsible for diagnosing endocrine disorders, creating treatment plans, and prescribing medications to manage these conditions.

When Should You Consider Seeing an Endocrinologist?

If you have been diagnosed with or are exhibiting symptoms of a medical condition that affects your hormones, your primary 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 it falls within the normal range, it indicates that you do not have a thyroid condition.

Do Endocrinologists Treat Patients of All Ages?

Yes, they do. However, adult endocrinologists typically see patients aged 18 and above.
