What is endocrinology?

Endocrinology is a field of medicine that focuses on hormones, the tiny chemical messengers of the body that regulate many of your biological processes. The endocrine system contains multiple glands, including:

• Thyroid
• Adrenals
• Pituitary
• Pancreas
• Testes
• Ovaries
• Pineal body
• Hypothalamus

Even a slight imbalance in your natural hormone levels can trigger a variety of health issues. Working with an endocrinologist can significantly lower your risk for hormone-related side effects that compromise your reproductive, physical, and mental health.

Reproductive Endocrinology and Fertility Group’s providers have specialized training in diagnosing and treating issues that relate to reproductive hormones like estrogen and progesterone in women.  

The physicians take a whole-person approach to enhancing women’s health. They also protect their reproductive wellness through nutritional counseling, lifestyle changes, and other holistic strategies.

When should I schedule a reproductive endocrinology consultation?

Women can schedule a reproductive endocrinology consultation at Reproductive Endocrinology and Fertility Group if they experience symptoms or complications of a hormone-related condition, such as:

• Infertility
• Irregular periods
• Recurrent pregnancy loss
• Perimenopause and menopause
• Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

The providers also specialize in LGBTQ+ family planning services to help same-sex couples realize their dreams of starting or expanding their families.

What can I expect during my initial endocrinology consultation?

During your first visit to Reproductive Endocrinology and Fertility Group, the physicians review your personal and family medical histories and any symptoms you currently have.

They complete a physical exam to assess your overall health and may order bloodwork to evaluate your hormone levels. Advanced imaging, including ultrasound and hysteroscopy technologies, are also available in the office to check your uterus and other reproductive organs for fibroids, endometriosis, and other abnormal growths.

Based on your consultation goals, the providers discuss your options for treatment. For instance, if you need help managing perimenopause symptoms, they can prescribe supplemental hormones. The physicians also offer medications to enhance ovulation in women with infertility challenges.

The providers’ whole-body approach to care ensures you get what you need to support your general well-being and reproductive health.
