Can males also experience endocrine disorders?
Disease description:
I’ve broken out with many pimples on my face, and after visiting the hospital for an examination, the doctor told me I have endocrine imbalance. I’m a bit confused—can males also experience endocrine imbalance?

Men can also experience endocrine disorders. Hormone secretion in the human body follows its own intrinsic rhythm, which may be influenced by various factors—including seasonal changes, diet, sleep–wake cycles, and physiological conditions—thereby disrupting hormonal rhythms and leading to endocrine imbalance. This condition is not gender-specific. In addition to acne, endocrine disorders in men may also cause sexual dysfunction, benign prostatic hyperplasia, hypothyroidism, or pituitary disorders, necessitating timely regulation and treatment.
