Endocrinology
Endocrinology is a specialized branch of medicine that deals with the biosynthesis, storage, chemistry, the biochemical and physiological function of hormones and with the cells of the endocrine glands and tissues that secrete them. The endocrine system consists of several glands, all and in different parts of the body that secrete hormones directly into the blood rather than into a duct system. These hormones regulate a number of vital functions in our body in a coordinated manner. Our Endocrinologists at GG Hospital are skilled to handle:
