Hormones are extremely important for regulating many of the body's functions. Hormonal disorders occur when there are abnormalities in the levels of hormones being produced, often leading to unwanted symptoms. Some common hormonal disorders include:
The thyroid gland controls metabolism by producing thyroid hormones. Hypothyroidism results when the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones, causing symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and sensitivity to cold. Hyperthyroidism is the opposite, with an overactive thyroid leading to unintended weight loss, rapid heartbeat, and irritability.
Thyroid disorders can often be effectively managed through medications like synthroid or procedures such as radioactive iodine therapy. The knowledgeable physicians at Optimum Hormone Clinic clinic routinely treat thyroid conditions using cutting-edge approaches tailored to each patient's needs.
Diabetes mellitus is a condition where the body cannot properly regulate blood sugar levels. There are two main types:
Both types can lead to dangerously high blood sugar if uncontrolled. Symptoms like excessive thirst, unexplained weight loss, and frequent urination may indicate diabetes.
Lifestyle changes and medications can help manage diabetes, but itCurrently untreatable. The endocrinologists at Optimum Hormone Clinic stay up-to-date on innovations in diabetes care to provide their patients with the best possible treatment.
The adrenal glands produce cortisol, aldosterone, and other hormones that regulate metabolism and stress response. Addison's diseaseresults when the adrenal glands do not produce enough of these hormones, while Cushing's syndrome involves cortisol overproduction.
Symptoms vary but may include fatigue, muscle weakness, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, and more.
