What Does an Endocrinologist Do?

An endocrinologist is a specialized healthcare professional in the field of endocrinology, which focuses on the study of hormonal conditions. They diagnose endocrine disorders, create treatment plans, and prescribe medications to manage these conditions.

When Should You Consider Seeing an Endocrinologist?

If you've been diagnosed with or exhibit symptoms of a hormonal disorder, 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 for assessing thyroid function. If your TSH levels are normal, it indicates that you do not have a thyroid condition.
