a disorder of the glands of the body
-
A glandular disorder is a medical condition that affects one or more of the bodys glands due to an abnormal functioning of the gland(s). Glands are organs that produce and secrete substances needed by the body to function. These can include conditions that impact hormone production, such as thyroid disease or diabetes, or they can involve non-hormonal conditions, such as cancer or infection within a gland. Symptoms and treatments vary widely depending on the specific gland affected and the nature of the disorder, but can include medication, lifestyle changes, and in some cases, surgery.
