Symptoms of Endocrine Disorders
The endocrine system is complex and uses hormones to coordinate growth, energy, reproduction and other important functions. Any change to one gland causes changes in another.
And because hormone levels affect the entire body, there’s no specific set of symptoms for endocrine disorders. Thyroid problems could cause sudden weight loss and tremors, while parathyroid gland diseases could cause depression and osteoporosis. Overall, though, the most common symptoms of endocrine disorders are weakness and fatigue that cause a significant change in your daily routine.
When symptoms like these are slowing you down, we can help. Our skilled team wants you to feel whole again by treating your symptoms and empowering you to live healthfully every day.
