Endocrinology is the medical practice that deals with hormonal problems. Your hormones affect so many of your other body parts and how your body functions that it’s likely at some point, you may receive a referral from one of our primary care physicians to an endocrinologist in Brooklyn. It’s vital that your endocrinology doctor receives a complete picture of your health, how it relates to your symptoms, what your medical history entails and what other, sometimes seemingly unrelated, symptoms you may be experiencing.

Endocrinology is the field of medicine that specializes in hormone-related diseases and concerns. Whether you’re dealing with weight problems, a thyroid disorders or diabetes, your Brooklyn endocrinologist helps you find the best avenue to health by not only understanding the basis of internal medicine, but also specializing in how your body reacts to various levels of hormones.

Endocrinology refers to your hormones — including the imbalances that may occur and your affected tissues or glands. Hormones regulate many of the processes in your body that impact your everyday health, including:
- Growth
- Sensory perception
- Metabolism
- Movement
- Reproduction

Endocrinology and Your Health
With more than 50 different hormones in the human body, hormone imbalances can cause significant health concerns. Your endocrinologist in Brooklyn works closely with a number of other specialists to help determine the source of your symptoms. At Century Medical and Dental, many medical specialties are available in one place. Possible glands affected by hormone imbalance include your:
- Hypothalamus, the source of involuntary body functions such as breathing and heart rate
- Pancreas, a gland that regulates insulin production
- Ovaries that produce primary estrogen and progesterone in women
- Testes that produce the androgens such as testosterone in men
- Adrenal gland, the site of natural steroid production
- Parathyroid gland, primarily responsible for regulating calcium and phosphates in your blood
- Pituitary gland that regulates most other glands, as well as growth hormones, sexual development, thyroid function, adrenocortical function and skin pigmentation
- Pineal gland, responsible for the production of melatonin and reproductive hormones
- Thymus gland, the key to producing immune cells
- Thyroid gland, which regulates blood pressure, heart rate, metabolism, food absorption and body temperature.
