Male Hypogonadism
Male hypogonadism is a condition in which the testes do not produce enough testosterone, the primary male sex hormone. Testosterone is responsible for developing male characteristics, including muscle mass, bone density, sperm production, and libido. When levels are too low, it can lead to a range of health issues affecting physical performance, mood, and reproductive […]
Female Reproduction
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder that affects women of reproductive age, leading to significant metabolic, reproductive, and dermatological challenges. The condition is primarily caused by an imbalance in hormones, particularly an excess of androgens (male hormones) and insulin resistance. These imbalances can disrupt […]
Pituitary Disorders
The pituitary gland, often called the “master gland,” is vital in regulating numerous hormones that control growth, metabolism, stress response, and reproductive health. Located at the base of the brain, the pituitary gland influences several other glands, including the thyroid, adrenal glands, and ovaries or testes. Pituitary disorders occur when the gland produces too much […]
Adrenal Disorders
The adrenal glands on top of each kidney produce essential hormones that regulate metabolism, immune function, blood pressure, and the body’s response to stress. Adrenal disorders occur when these glands produce too much or too little of certain hormones, leading to conditions such as Addison’s disease, Cushing’s syndrome, adrenal insufficiency, and pheochromocytomas. These disorders can […]
Calcium & Parathyroid Disorders
Calcium is an essential mineral in bone health, nerve function, muscle contraction, and hormone secretion. The parathyroid glands, located behind the thyroid, regulate calcium levels in the body by producing parathyroid hormone (PTH). Calcium imbalances can occur when these glands function abnormally, affecting overall health. Disorders such as hyperparathyroidism and hypoparathyroidism can cause a range […]
