Hi All,

I know this is probably going to sound really stupid but what is an endocrinologist and what do they do..?

I was told but my gyne that I have to go to one but to be honest I was so scared and confused at the time I didn't think to ask. Which means I'm now even more worried and confused...

Thanks

Hi

I too would like to know what they can do for y ou. I've heard they're good at treating acne, but don't know what else they can do for PCOS?!

Hi

Well, this is the way I understand it

A gynae is a gynaecology dr, and an endocrinologist is the dr who specialises in hormone problems.

Hope this helps
