Endocrine disorders refer to medical conditions that affect the endocrine system, which is responsible for producing hormones that regulate various bodily functions. These disorders can result from hormone imbalances, tumors in hormone-producing glands, genetic factors, or autoimmune disorders. Common endocrine disorders include diabetes, thyroid disorders, adrenal disorders, and reproductive hormone disorders. Symptoms can vary depending on the specific disorder, but may include weight changes, fatigue, mood swings, and changes in blood sugar levels. Treatment typically involves hormone replacement therapy, medication, or surgery, depending on the underlying cause of the disorder.
