Endocrine Diseases

Endocrine glands, they are the hormone-producing glands in the body, and the common ones are thyroid, parathyroid hormones, pancreas and adrenal glands. If the thyroid endocrinology is making extra prohormones, a patient will have symptoms like anxiety, tremors, sweating, palpitations, or difficulty falling asleep. Initially, this is managed with medication, or there are pills like radioactive iodine that can destroy the thyroid gland. Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that, at certain doses, can interfere with the endocrine (or hormone) system in mammals. These disruptions can cause cancerous brain tumors, birth defects, and other developmental disorders. Addison's disease (also Addison disease, chronic adrenal insufficiency, hypocortisolism, and hypoadrenalism) is a rare, chronic endocrine system disorder in which the adrenal glands do not produce sufficient steroid hormones (glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids).
