Endocrinology

Endocrinology is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of disorders related to the endocrine system. The endocrine system consists of glands that produce hormones, which regulate various bodily functions, including metabolism, growth and development, sexual function, mood, and more. At Alpha Hospital & Trauma Centre, our team of endocrinologists is dedicated to providing comprehensive care for patients with endocrine disorders.

Hormone Disorders: Endocrinologists diagnose and treat a wide range of hormone-related disorders. This includes conditions such as diabetes (Type 1 and Type 2), thyroid disorders (such as hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism), adrenal disorders (such as Cushing's syndrome or Addison's disease), pituitary gland disorders, parathyroid disorders, reproductive hormone disorders, and more. We conduct thorough evaluations, order appropriate laboratory tests, and develop personalized treatment plans based on your specific condition.
Diabetes Management: Diabetes is a common endocrine disorder characterized by high blood sugar levels. Our endocrinologists specialize in the management of diabetes, including Type 1, Type 2, and gestational diabetes. We provide education about blood sugar monitoring, insulin administration (if needed), medication management, lifestyle modifications, and dietary recommendations. Our goal is to help you achieve optimal blood sugar control, prevent complications, and improve your overall well-being.
Thyroid Disorders: The thyroid gland plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism and other bodily functions. Endocrinologists evaluate and treat thyroid disorders, including hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), thyroid nodules, and thyroid cancer. We perform thyroid function tests, thyroid ultrasound, and fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy when necessary. Treatment options may include medication, radioactive iodine therapy, or surgery, depending on the specific condition.
Metabolic Disorders: Endocrinologists also manage metabolic disorders, which involve abnormalities in metabolism, including disorders of lipid (fat) metabolism and calcium metabolism. This includes conditions such as dyslipidemia (high cholesterol), metabolic syndrome, and disorders of bone and mineral metabolism, such as osteoporosis or hyperparathyroidism. We provide comprehensive evaluations, lifestyle modifications, medication management, and monitoring to optimize metabolic health.
Hormonal Imbalances: Hormonal imbalances can affect various aspects of health and well-being. Endocrinologists assess and treat hormonal imbalances related to reproductive health, growth and development, menstrual irregularities, fertility issues, and disorders of sex development. We conduct hormonal evaluations, provide appropriate treatments or interventions, and offer support throughout the diagnostic and treatment process.
