Bayhealth Hospital offers Endocrinology services for patients with Endocrine disorders. Endocrinology is a branch of medicine that relates to the endocrine system which controls hormones. Endocrinologists treat people who suffer from hormonal imbalances. Our Endocrinologist runs a clinic every Friday morning.
Our Endocrinology service provides specialist assessment, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up for a wide range of hormone-related, glandular and metabolic conditions.
Endocrinology is the medical specialty concerned with hormones and the glands that produce them. Hormones act as chemical messengers and help regulate important processes including metabolism, growth, reproduction, mood and other functions throughout the body.
Our endocrinology team assesses people with suspected or established endocrine conditions, helping to clarify symptoms, investigate possible causes and develop an appropriate plan for treatment and monitoring.
Because endocrine disorders can affect many systems, care may involve collaboration with other specialists and healthcare professionals where appropriate.
Our service may assess and manage a broad range of hormone-related and metabolic conditions. The exact service offered varies by hospital and local pathway.
