I&#39;m a mother of twins. If one of the children get strep I&#39;m always concerned how long it can live on enviromental surfaces. I know that once on antibiotics for 24 to 48 hrs they are no longer contagious. But how long does it live on surfaces. Hard to keep up with babies.
Endocrinology is a complex study of the various hormones and their actions and disorders in the body. Glands are organs that make hormones. These are substances that help to control activities in the body and have several effects on the metabolism, reproduction, food absorption and utilization, growth and development etc.
What Does an Endocrinologist Do? The glands in a person's body release hormones. Endocrinologists treat people who suffer from hormonal imbalances, typically from glands in the endocrine system. The overall goal of treatment is to restore the normal balance of hormones found in a patient's body. Most of the work performed by an endocrinologist serves as the basis for ongoing research.
