Endo

Endo is a term often used in medical parlance to refer to procedures or conditions that involve the interior or inside of an organ or body cavity. The term is derived from the Greek word "endon," which means "within." Endo is often used as a prefix in medical terminology, such as in the words endoscopy, endocarditis, and endocrinology.

Endoscopy

Endoscopy is a medical procedure that involves the use of an endoscope, a long, flexible tube with a light and camera attached to it, to examine the interior of a body cavity or organ. This procedure is often used to diagnose or treat conditions that affect the digestive tract, lungs, and other internal organs.

Endocarditis

Endocarditis is an inflammation of the inner layer of the heart, known as the endocardium. This condition is usually caused by a bacterial infection, but it can also be caused by other factors such as fungi or other microorganisms.

Endocrinology

Endocrinology is a branch of medicine that deals with the endocrine system, the system of glands that produce hormones. Endocrinologists diagnose and treat conditions that affect the endocrine system, such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, and hormonal imbalances.
