Features: The endocrine system consists of a group of glands and organs that secrete hormones into the bloodstream. The main glands include the pituitary (controlled by the hypothalamus), thyroid, parathyroid, islets (which produce insulin), adrenal glands, testes in males, and ovaries in females. The hormones secreted by these glands regulate and control the body's growth, sexual function, metabolism, and other physiological functions. Diseases of the endocrine and metabolic system are closely and broadly connected with various disciplines of medicine. In recent years, the development of basic medicine has significantly improved the diagnosis and treatment levels of clinical endocrinology. This book elaborates on the TCM syndrome differentiation, treatment, and other therapies for difficult endocrine diseases, offering comprehensive and well-organized content with strong scientific and practical value. It is suitable for reference by medical professionals in endocrinology, internal medicine, clinical graduate students, and interns.
