Frequently Asked Questions — Endocrinology
When should a diabetic patient see an Endocrinologist?+
See an Endocrinologist if your HbA1c remains above 7% despite medication, if you need insulin therapy, if you have Type 1 diabetes, if you develop diabetic complications (neuropathy, retinopathy, nephropathy), or if your blood sugar swings are difficult to manage. They specialize in complex insulin regimens and advanced diabetes management.
What are the symptoms of thyroid problems?+
Hypothyroidism (low thyroid) causes fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, dry skin, hair loss, and constipation. Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) causes weight loss, rapid heartbeat, heat intolerance, tremors, anxiety, and diarrhea. A simple TSH blood test can screen for thyroid disorders.
Can hormonal imbalances cause weight gain?+
Yes. Hypothyroidism, Cushing's syndrome (excess cortisol), insulin resistance, PCOS, and low testosterone can all contribute to weight gain. An Endocrinologist evaluates hormonal causes through targeted blood tests and creates a treatment plan addressing the underlying imbalance alongside dietary and lifestyle changes.
How is PCOS managed by an Endocrinologist?+
Endocrinologists address the metabolic aspects of PCOS: insulin resistance, hormonal imbalances, and metabolic syndrome. Treatment may include metformin for insulin sensitivity, lifestyle modifications for weight management, and hormonal therapy. They work alongside gynecologists who manage the reproductive aspects of PCOS.
