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 (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 related to various disciplines of medicine. In recent years, the development of basic medicine has significantly improved the diagnostic and treatment levels of clinical endocrinology. This book elaborates on the TCM syndrome differentiation, treatment, and other therapies for difficult endocrine diseases, with comprehensive content, clear organization, strong scientific rigor, and practicality. It is suitable for reference use by endocrinology specialists, internal medicine physicians, clinical graduate students, and interns.
