Endocrine conditions are common and can affect your whole body. Your endocrine system is made up of several glands — thyroid, pituitary, adrenal and more — and the hormones they produce. Those hormones act as chemical messengers, triggering various functions. Some regulate growth and sexual development, while others control body temperature, metabolism, thirst and hunger. Still others influence blood sugar levels, mood and sexual response. There’s not much that hormones don’t do.  Many health problems are related to endocrine system conditions, including [diabetes](https://www.sutterhealth.org/services/diabetes), thyroid dysfunction, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), osteoporosis, hyperparathyroidism and Paget’s disease, among many others. Symptoms caused by hormonal issues — such as fatigue, weakness and weight change — can mimic many other common conditions. That’s why correctly diagnosing an endocrine condition can take a bit of detective work. We’ll help pinpoint your diagnosis with lab tests that measure your hormone levels. Many hormonal problems can be treated with medication or hormone therapies, which can suppress or enhance the function of your glands as needed. For some conditions, advanced treatments or surgery might be necessary. Your endocrinologist will discuss the best treatment options for your needs and guide you through any advanced procedures.
