Endocrinology

Axis is proud to have the world-renown endocrinologist Dr. Crispin Semakula on our medical staff. Endocrinology is the field of hormone-related diseases. Humans have over 50 different hormones and even in very small amounts they can still have a significant impact on bodily function and development when not in balance with the rest of the body.

Hormones regulate metabolism, respiration, growth, reproduction, sensory perception, and movement. A hormone imbalance can be the result of a person’s genetics or be caused by environmental factors. Hormone imbalances are the underlying reason for a wide range of medical conditions that can effect people of any age. For example, some infants are born with hormonal problems that can lead to low growth and short stature.

Endocrinologists commonly treat the following conditions:

diabetes
osteoporosis
menopause
metabolic disorders
thyroid diseases
irregular hormone production
some cancers
short stature
infertility
stress

inflammation
excessive sweating
poor immune response
low sex drive or function
low estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone.
problems with digestion
irregular mineral levels in the blood
stunted or unusual growth

Your Axis team aims to restore hormone balance within the body’s systems.
