Endocrinology is the branch of science that examines the endocrine glands in our body.
This examination contains the functions of the endocrine glands and the hormones they secrete. Hormones control different activities in our body. Different types of hormones control reproduction, metabolism, growth, and development.
Hormones also control our response to the environment and help provide the proper amount of energy and nutrients needed for our body’s functions.
Glands that make up the endocrine system; hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, pancreas, ovaries (ovaries in women, testicles in men), and adrenal gland.

The duty of the endocrinology and metabolic diseases department
Endocrinologists treat people who suffer from hormonal imbalances because of a disease of the glands in the endocrine system or certain types of cancer. The overall purpose of treatment is to restore the normal hormone balance in a patient’s body.
Much of the work performed by an endocrinologist provides the basis for ongoing research. In our hospital, our endocrinology and metabolism department works in cooperation with other relevant department specialists.
The diagnosis and treatment of the following endocrinology and metabolism diseases are applied successfully in our hospital;
Diabetes, goiter and thyroid gland diseases
Obesity, hypertension
Pituitary gland diseases
Adrenal gland diseases,
Hair growth and menstrual irregularities
Sexual development disorders
Osteoporosis (bone resorption), high cholesterol and lipid metabolism diseases
