Endocrinology

Endocrinology is a branch of biology and medicine dealing with the endocrine system, its diseases, and its specific secretions known as hormones.

Hormones are the main focus of the medical speciality called endocrinology. For our daily survival, hormones are inevitable and significant. They regulate our growth, stress, sleep, emotions, and many other factors.

A doctor who specializes in treating disorders caused by hormonal imbalances is an endocrinologist. The chemical messenger called a hormone moves from one cell to another. The bloodstream carries hormones from one part of the body to another, where they have an impact. This makes it easier for various body sections to communicate with one another. Endocrine glands, such as the thyroid, pituitary, or adrenal glands, release hormones.

The delicate hormonal balance that keeps you healthy might be upset by an endocrine disorder, leading to symptoms that interfere with your daily activities. We provide a wide range of diagnostic procedures and specialized care at Bombay Hospital, which can assist you in regaining wellness.

Because the symptoms of endocrine diseases frequently resemble those of other diseases, diagnosing them can be difficult. Our reliable team of professionals has the skills and experience to provide a precise diagnosis. We gather the information you require and create a therapy strategy to help you recover.

Hormone therapy, medications, and surgery are the three main treatment strategies adopted by our endocrinology unit.

Hormone therapy demands the intake of supplements to raise the levels of some hormones. If your hormone levels are abnormally low, this medication might be ideal for you. Personalized insulin therapies for diabetes are also a part of hormone therapy.

If we suspect endocrine-related cancer or if other endocrine disorder therapies are unsuccessful in your case, you might need surgery. Doctors with advanced training who excel at performing precise surgical operations are a part of our team. We ensure that you get the best treatment.
