How to identify a problem with the endocrine system?
Endocrine disorder is any disease related to the endocrine system or endocrine gland.
A disorder is formed when one or more areas of the endocrine system no longer function properly. Against the background of a chain reaction, the amount of specific hormones in the body is more or less than normal, or the body no longer responds to specific hormones - ultimately, health problems appear.
In a large percentage of clinical cases, the cause of the disorder is improper, inadequate functioning of the adrenal gland, pancreas, pituitary gland, and thyroid gland.
