Expert Answers

An Endocrinologist is a super-specialist doctor who focuses on the glands (like thyroid, pancreas, adrenal, pituitary) and the hormones they produce. Hormones control nearly every function in your body—metabolism, growth, reproduction, energy, and mood. We diagnose and treat imbalances in these systems to restore your health.

While general physicians handle routine care, you should see an endocrinologist if:

• You have a complex condition like Diabetes, Thyroid disorders, or PCOD that isn't well-controlled.
• You have unconventional symptoms like unexplained weight gain/loss, brittle bones, or severe fatigue.
• You require specialized testing or advanced treatments like insulin pumps or hormone replacement.

To make the most of your visit, please bring all previous medical records, recent blood test reports, X-rays or scans, and a list of all medications you are currently taking.

Modern science shows that Type 2 Diabetes can often be put into "remission." This means your blood sugar levels stay normal without medication. This is achieved through significant, sustained weight loss and lifestyle changes under medical supervision. Learn more about our Diabetes Management programs.

Obesity is a complex metabolic disease, not just a result of "eating too much." Hormonal barriers like Insulin Resistance, Hypothyroidism, or high Cortisol levels can prevent weight loss. As endocrinologists, we treat these root causes, sometimes using safe medications to help your body respond to your healthy lifestyle efforts. Explore our Obesity Management solutions.

No, this is a common myth. Insulin is a natural hormone your body needs to survive. If your doctor prescribes it, it is because your body needs support to control blood sugar and protect your organs. It is not addictive and is often the safest option for long-term health.

Yes, absolutely. In fact, maintaining normal thyroid levels is critical for your baby's brain development. Stopping medication can be dangerous. We closely monitor your levels throughout pregnancy and adjust dosages as needed to ensure safety for both mother and child. More on Thyroid care.

They are often used interchangeably, but PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is a more severe metabolic condition involving hormonal imbalances (high androgens) and irregular periods. It has long-term health implications like diabetes risk. We treat not just the cycle, but the whole metabolic picture. Read about Menstrual Irregularities.
