Reproductive Endocrinology is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on the hormonal aspects of reproduction. It studies how hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone influence reproductive health, fertility, and sexual function. This branch of endocrinology helps diagnose and treat conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), infertility, and hormonal imbalances.
Professionals in this field, known as reproductive endocrinologists, often work with individuals and couples seeking assistance with conception. They may utilize various treatments, including in vitro fertilization (IVF) and hormone therapy, to help manage reproductive issues and improve overall reproductive health.
