What Does an Endocrinologist Do?
An endocrinologist is a medical specialist who diagnoses and treats hormonal imbalances and problems related to the endocrine system—the network of glands that regulate metabolism, growth, reproduction, and mood.
What Is the Endocrine System?
The endocrine system includes glands like:
- Hypothalamus – regulate hormones related to hunger, thirst, and sleep
- Thyroid – regulates metabolism and energy
- Pancreas – controls blood sugar (insulin)
- Adrenals – manage stress hormones and blood pressure
- Pituitary – the “master gland” that controls others
- Ovaries/Testes – regulate sex hormones
Parathyroid – balances calcium levels

Endocrinologists diagnose and manage conditions related to hormones, glands, and metabolism.
