About Endocrine Diseases
What are Endocrine Diseases?
There are many endocrine diseases that are related to the malfunctioning of the endocrine system. Common examples include hormonal disorder (symptoms or diseases related to menstruation in women and sexual dysfunction in men), diabetes, thyroid disorders (hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism and goiter), osteoporosis, side effects due to excessive use of steroid, obesity and obesity-related metabolic syndrome.

Hormones are secretions by endocrine glands into the blood system for specific functions, responsible for sustaining a stable internal environment (for example, the blood glucose level at 4-8 mmol/L or body temperature at around 37°C).
