Disability Due to Endocrine Disorders
Endocrine disorders can be so severe that they cause disability in a person's daily life and employment. An endocrine disorder is a medical condition that causes a hormonal imbalance. When an endocrine gland functions abnormally, producing too much of a specific hormone (hyperfunction) or too little (hypofunction), the hormonal imbalance can cause several complications in the body. The main glands of the endocrine system are the pituitary gland, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenals and pancreas.
