Common Conditions
Understanding Diabetes
What Is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a chronic condition where the body cannot properly regulate blood sugar levels. This occurs either because the pancreas doesn't produce enough insulin or because the body's cells don't respond effectively to insulin.
Types We Treat
  • Type 1 Diabetes: Autoimmune condition requiring insulin therapy
  • Type 2 Diabetes: Lifestyle-related, manageable with medication and lifestyle changes
  • Gestational Diabetes: Develops during pregnancy
  • Pre-diabetes: Early intervention to prevent progression
Early Warning Signs of Diabetes
1
Excessive Thirst
Feeling unusually thirsty and needing to drink water frequently throughout the day
2
Frequent Urination
Needing to urinate more often than usual, especially during the night
3
Unexplained Weight Loss
Losing weight without trying, despite eating normally or even more than usual
4
Persistent Fatigue
Feeling tired and lacking energy even after adequate rest and sleep
5
Blurred Vision
Experiencing changes in vision or difficulty focusing
6
Slow Healing Wounds
Cuts, bruises, or sores that take longer than normal to heal
If you experience any of these symptoms, consult an endocrinologist for proper evaluation and early intervention.
Thyroid Health Matters
Understanding Your Thyroid
The thyroid is a small butterfly-shaped gland in your neck that produces hormones regulating metabolism, energy levels, body temperature, and many other vital functions. When it doesn't work properly, it affects your entire body.
Common Thyroid Conditions
  • Hypothyroidism: Underactive thyroid causing fatigue, weight gain, and sluggishness
  • Hyperthyroidism: Overactive thyroid causing anxiety, weight loss, and rapid heartbeat
  • Thyroid Nodules: Lumps requiring evaluation and monitoring
  • Goitre: Enlarged thyroid gland
Thyroid Symptoms to Watch For
Hypothyroidism Signs
  • Unexplained weight gain
  • Persistent fatigue
  • Cold sensitivity
  • Dry skin and hair
  • Depression or mood changes
  • Constipation
Hyperthyroidism Signs
  • Unexpected weight loss
  • Rapid or irregular heartbeat
  • Nervousness or anxiety
  • Heat sensitivity
  • Trembling hands
  • Sleep difficulties
Thyroid disorders are highly treatable when diagnosed early. A simple blood test can determine if your thyroid is functioning properly.
PCOS: What Every Woman Should Know
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common hormonal disorders affecting women of reproductive age. It occurs when the ovaries produce excess male hormones, leading to various symptoms and potential long-term health complications.
Common PCOS Symptoms
  • Irregular or absent periods
  • Difficulty getting pregnant
  • Excessive facial or body hair
  • Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
  • Acne and oily skin
  • Thinning hair on the head
Our PCOS Treatment Approach
We provide holistic care addressing hormonal balance, weight management, fertility concerns, and lifestyle modifications. Treatment is personalised based on your symptoms, health goals, and whether you're planning pregnancy.
Obesity: More Than Just Weight
The Hormonal Connection
Many people struggle with weight despite diet and exercise efforts. Often, underlying hormonal imbalances make weight loss extremely difficult. Conditions like insulin resistance, thyroid dysfunction, and hormonal imbalances can all contribute to obesity.
Our Medical Weight Management
We don't believe in crash diets or unsustainable approaches. Instead, we identify and treat hormonal causes, provide evidence-based medical interventions, and support you with nutritional counselling and lifestyle strategies that work long-term.
Paediatric Endocrine Care
Children's hormonal health is crucial for proper growth, development, and overall wellbeing. We specialise in diagnosing and treating endocrine disorders in children and adolescents with sensitivity, expertise, and family-centred care.
Growth Concerns
If your child is significantly shorter or taller than peers, we can evaluate for growth hormone deficiencies or other underlying conditions.
Puberty Issues
Early or delayed puberty can be concerning. We provide expert evaluation and treatment to ensure healthy development.
Childhood Diabetes
Comprehensive management of Type 1 diabetes in children, including insulin therapy, education, and family support.
