Your Endocrine System

You probably don’t think about your endocrine system much — until something goes wrong. But it plays a role in nearly every function in your body.

Your endocrine system is made up of a number of glands — thyroid, pituitary, adrenal and more — and the hormones they produce. Those hormones act as chemical messengers, traveling throughout your body and triggering various functions. Some regulate growth and sexual development, while others control body temperature, thirst and hunger. Still others influence blood sugar levels, mood and sexual response. There’s not much that hormones don’t do.

Numerous symptoms may point to endocrine system disorders. Common condition treated at PAMF include:

  • Type 1 diabetes
  • Thyroid dysfunction, including thyroid nodules, goiter and cancer
  • Parathyroid and calcium disorders
  • Adrenal and pituitary disorders
  • Graves’ disease (overactive thyroid)
  • Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid)
  • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
  • Osteoporosis
  • Paget’s disease of bone
  • Male and female sexual dysfunction

Once your primary care doctor diagnoses you, your endocrinologist will work with you to develop a treatment plan, help you manage your condition and restore you to better health.

Gestational Diabetes Research

Sutter Health Gestational Diabetes Research
Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that typically develops during late pregnancy. Diabetes means your blood glucose, also called blood sugar, is too high. Your body uses glucose for energy. Too much glucose in your blood is not good for you or your baby. Research into gestational diabetes seeks to understand the cause, improve detection methods and management of the disease, and methods of prevention.
