Conditions Treated

Our department specialises in providing end-to-end solutions for people of all ages' hormonal and metabolic problems. We address both common and complex endocrine conditions with equal dedication and expertise.

  • Adrenal Gland Tumours: This is a vital gland that regulates metabolism, the immune system, blood pressure, response to stress, and other essential functions of the body. Most of the tumours in the adrenal gland are benign. However, in rare cases, they can develop into cancer.
  • Carcinoid Tumour: These tumours are cancerous, but they take years to develop. They are generated in the enterochromaffin cells of the gastrointestinal or bronchopulmonary systems and are also known as neuroendocrine tumours.
  • Goitre: A goitre is a swelling of the thyroid gland. It is often harmless, though it can signal an underlying thyroid condition. There are various possible causes of goitre, but it is commonly a sign that the thyroid gland produces too much or too little thyroid hormone.
  • Hyperthyroidism: Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) happens when your thyroid creates and releases more hormones than you need. It speeds up several bodily functions, causing symptoms like rapid heart rate, weight loss, increased appetite, and anxiety.
  • Hashimoto's Disease: Hashimoto's disease is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects your thyroid gland. It can cause lower-than-normal levels of thyroid hormone in the body.
  • Graves' Disease: Graves' disease is an immune system condition that affects the thyroid gland. It causes the body to make too much thyroid hormone.
  • Cushing's Disease: Cushing's syndrome is a disorder that occurs when your body makes too much of the hormone cortisol over a long period.
  • Addison's Disease: Addison's disease is a rare chronic condition in which your adrenal glands don't produce enough of the hormones cortisol and aldosterone.
  • Hyperglycemia: Hyperglycemia happens when there's too much sugar (glucose) in the blood. If it's left untreated, it can lead to complications such as nerve damage, eye disease, and kidney damage.
  • Hypothyroidism: Hypothyroidism is when the thyroid gland doesn't make enough hormones. It can make individuals feel tired or gain weight unexpectedly.
  • Hypoparathyroidism: Hypoparathyroidism is an uncommon condition in which the body produces abnormally low levels of parathyroid hormone. Parathyroid hormone is key to regulating and maintaining a balance of two minerals in the body: calcium and phosphorus.
  • Hypopituitarism: Hypopituitarism is a rare condition in which the pituitary gland doesn't make one or more hormones or doesn't make enough hormones. It happens when there's a disorder or damage to your pituitary gland or hypothalamus.
