Endocrine Disorders
Endocrine Disorders are the disorders when a gland produces too much or too little of an endocrine hormone in the body, called a hormone imbalance and this is due to the development of lesions in the endocrine system, which may or may not affect hormone levels.
Cushing's disease - When Overproduction of the hormone by pituitary gland led to an overactive adrenal gland. A similar condition is called Cushing's syndrome may occur in people, particularly in children, those who take high doses of corticosteroid medications.
Hyperthyroidism - When the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone, which leads to weight loss, fast heart rate, sweating, and nervousness. The most common cause for an overactive thyroid is an autoimmune disorder which is called Grave's disease.
Hypothyroidism - When the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone, which leads to fatigue, constipation, dry skin, and depression because of the underactive gland can also lead to slowed development in children
Multiple endocrine neoplasias - These rare, genetic conditions are passed down through families. They cause tumours of the parathyroid, adrenal, and thyroid glands, which leads to overproduction of the hormones.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) - Overproductions of androgens led to interference with the development of eggs and also their release from the female ovaries. PCOS is a leading factor of infertility.
