Endocrinology
Endocrinology is a medical specialty that focuses on conditions that affect the endocrine system, which is a collection of hormone-producing glands that control metabolism, growth and sexual development. The endocrinologists at Flowers Medical Group offer treatment options to address metabolic conditions, such as diabetes and issues with thyroid or adrenal function.
Endocrinology disorders can affect many aspects of a patient's health. Issues with glands and hormones can cause problems with tissue function, overall development, blood sugar, behavioral health and digestive and respiratory systems.
Endocrinology physicians work closely with each patient to develop a medical treatment plan and provide clinical care to manage medical conditions effectively and improve overall health. We provide appointments and consult with patients who have a variety of endocrine disorders, including:
- Diabetes
- Thyroid disease, including hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism and Graves' disease
- Adrenal disorders, such as Addison's disease and Cushing's syndrome
- Osteoporosis
- Pituitary problems
- Diseases and disorders that affect hormones and the reproductive glands
