Endocrinology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the endocrine system, which is a complex network of glands that produce and regulate hormones. These hormones play a vital role in controlling many bodily functions, including metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, sexual function, reproduction, sleep, and mood.

An endocrinologist is a medical doctor specialized in diagnosing and treating disorders related to the endocrine system. They undergo extensive training in internal medicine followed by additional years of fellowship training in endocrinology, enabling them to provide expert care for hormone-related conditions.
