Endocrine disorders occur when the body's endocrine system, which produces hormones, does not function properly. Hormones are essential for regulating various bodily functions, including metabolism, growth, and mood. When there is an imbalance—either too much or too little hormone production—it can lead to various health issues, such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, or Cushing's syndrome. These disorders can affect anyone, regardless of age or gender, and symptoms can vary widely. Common signs include unexplained weight changes, fatigue, and mood swings. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing these conditions effectively and maintaining overall health.
