Endocrinology is the specialized department of medicine that supervises the diagnosis, management, and treatment of the endocrine system. The person who specializes in treating endocrine disorders is known as an endocrinologist. Endocrinology confronts the biochemical processes that help the body to function appropriately and negotiates with disorders that can affect a person’s hormone-producing ability. The endocrine system contains glands and hormones that help in the growth and development of a person.
