Endocrinology

Endocrinologist checking a patients blood sugar.

Your hormones affect how you grow, feel, eat, sleep, and more. If something goes awry in your body that relies on normal hormone function, it may be time to see an endocrinologist at Faith Regional. Our specialists are here to help diagnose, treat, and manage your condition or disease.


Your Endocrine System

The endocrine system is a network of glands that make hormones and control how they are released throughout your body. Hormones play a huge role in your overall health and well-being. If your endocrine system is out of balance, you might have problems getting pregnant, coping with stress, managing your weight, controlling your blood sugar, and more.
