    Endocrinology is the branch of medicine and biology that focuses on the endocrine system, which includes glands that release hormones into the bloodstream. These hormones regulate various bodily functions such as metabolism, growth, and mood. For example, endocrinologists often treat conditions like diabetes, thyroid disorders, and hormonal imbalances that can affect hair growth and lead to conditions like alopecia.
