Summary about Endocrine Disorders in English

Endocrine disorders are diseases related to the endocrine glands of the body. The endocrine system produces hormones, which are chemical signals sent out, or secreted, through the bloodstream. Hormones help the body regulate processes, such as appetite, breathing, growth, fluid balance, feminization and virilization, and weight control.

These disorders often have widespread symptoms, affect multiple parts of the body, and can range in severity from mild to very severe. Treatments depend on the specific disorder but often focus on adjusting hormone balance using synthetic hormones.

Causes of Endocrine Disorders

• Acromegaly, an overproduction of growth hormone, and prolactinoma, an overproduction of prolactin hormone, resulting from damage to the pituitary gland

• Addison’s disease and Cushing’s syndrome, disorders relating to changes in levels of hormones produced by the adrenal glands

• Diabetes mellitus, which arises when the pancreas does not produce sufficient insulin or when the body cannot respond to the insulin that is present

• Environmental or nutritional factors, such as a lack of iodine in hypothyroidism, which can affect hormone production

• Genetic factors, which may play a role in endocrine disorders, especially with diabetes and other disorders, such as autoimmune thyroiditis, or Hashimoto’s thyroiditis

• Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), Graves’ disease (a type of hyperthyroidism resulting in excessive thyroid hormone production), and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (an autoimmune disease resulting in hypothyroidism), all resulting from problems with the thyroid gland

• Tumors, since the underlying cause of the endocrine disorder, can be linked to growth or tumor of the gland

• Inactivity.
• Personal history of autoimmune disorders, such as diabetes.
