FAQs
What does an endocrinologist treat?
Endocrinologists specialise in diseases caused by hormonal disturbances—including diabetes, thyroid disorders, obesity, infertility, and metabolic bone diseases.
When should I consult an endocrinologist?
You should consult an endocrinologist if you experience unexplained weight changes, fatigue, irregular periods, excessive hair growth, mood swings, or difficulty managing diabetes or thyroid conditions.
Are hormonal problems lifelong?
Not always. Many hormonal disorders can be managed or corrected effectively with the right combination of medication, diet, exercise, and regular medical supervision.
What tests are done to check endocrine function?
Endocrine evaluation may include blood hormone level tests, glucose tolerance tests, thyroid scans, and specialised stimulation or suppression tests to assess gland function.
Can lifestyle changes improve hormonal health?
Yes. A balanced diet, regular physical activity, stress management, and adequate sleep play vital roles in maintaining healthy hormonal balance.
