Endocrinology

Endocrinology is a specialised branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders related to hormones, the endocrine glands, and the complex systems that regulate metabolism, growth, reproduction, and overall body function. Endocrinologists play a vital role in managing conditions such as diabetes, thyroid diseases, hormonal imbalances, and osteoporosis, ensuring a patient-centric approach to health and well-being.

At our General Multispecialty Hospital, we take pride in offering advanced endocrinology care. With state-of-the-art facilities and a team of experienced specialists, our hospital is equipped to address a wide spectrum of endocrine disorders. We aim to provide personalised treatment plans, improve quality of life, and promote long-term health.

FAQ's

  • What is Endocrinology ? +

    The endocrine system is a messenger system comprising feedback loops of the hormones released by internal glands of an organism directly into the circulatory system, regulating distant target organs. In vertebrates, the hypothalamus is the neural control centre for all endocrine systems. In humans, the major endocrine glands are the thyroid gland and the adrenal glands. The study of the endocrine system and its disorders is known as endocrinology.

  • What are endocrine disorders? +

    What is the Endocrine System? Endocrine disorders are diseases related to the endocrine glands of the body. The endocrine system produces hormones, which are chemical signals sent out, or secreted, through the bloodstream. Hormones help the body regulate processes, such as appetite, breathing, growth, fluid balance, feminization and virilization, and weight control.

  • How is diabetes managed in endocrinology? +

    Diabetes management involves a combination of therapies, including insulin or oral medications, dietary and lifestyle changes, and advanced monitoring tools like Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM). The approach is tailored to the patient’s needs to control blood sugar levels effectively.

  • Are thyroid problems curable, and what are the treatment options? +

    Most thyroid problems, like hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, are manageable with proper treatment. Options include medication (like thyroxine for hypothyroidism), radioactive iodine therapy, and, in some cases, surgical intervention. Regular follow-ups with an endocrinologist are essential for optimal outcomes.
