Far Reaching Endocrinology

We treat the following:

• Thyroid disorders:
  • Hypothyroidism

    Hypothyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland fails to produce enough thyroid hormones, resulting in a slower metabolism. Common symptoms include fatigue, weight gain, and sensitivity to cold.
  • Hyperthyroidism

    Hyperthyroidism is characterized by an overactive thyroid gland that produces excessive thyroid hormones. This leads to symptoms such as weight loss, rapid heartbeat, and anxiety.
  • Thyroid nodules

    Thyroid nodules are abnormal growths or lumps in the thyroid gland. While often non-cancerous, they can cause symptoms like difficulty swallowing or breathing, and may require further evaluation.
  • Thyroid Cancer

    Thyroid cancer occurs when abnormal cells in the thyroid gland grow uncontrollably. Symptoms may include a lump in the neck, hoarseness, or difficulty swallowing. Early detection and treatment are crucial for a favorable prognosis.
• Diabetes:
  • Type 1 Diabetes

    Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system attacks and destroys insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. This results in a lack of insulin, requiring lifelong insulin replacement therapy.
  • Type 2 Diabetes

    Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition where the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn't produce enough of it. Lifestyle changes, medication, and sometimes insulin are used to manage blood sugar levels.
  • Gestational Diabetes

    Gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy when the body cannot produce enough insulin to meet the increased demands. It may increase the risk of complications for both the mother and baby.
• Parathyroid Diseases

  Parathyroid diseases include hyperparathyroidism and hypoparathyroidism. Hyperparathyroidism involves excessive production of parathyroid hormone, leading to elevated calcium levels. Hypoparathyroidism results in insufficient parathyroid hormone, causing low calcium levels.
• Adrenal disorders

  Adrenal adenomas are non-cancerous tumors in the adrenal glands. Adrenal disorders may involve overproduction or underproduction of hormones, affecting various bodily functions.
• Pituitary disorders

  Pituitary adenomas are tumors in the pituitary gland that may affect hormone production. Pituitary disorders can lead to hormonal imbalances with diverse symptoms.
• Osteoporosis

  Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become weak and brittle. It often occurs with aging and hormonal changes, leading to an increased risk of fractures.
• Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

  Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder affecting women of reproductive age, leading to irregular periods, cysts on the ovaries, and symptoms like acne and hirsutism.
• Low Testosterone

  Low testosterone, or hypogonadism, occurs when the body doesn't produce enough testosterone. Symptoms may include fatigue, reduced libido, and mood changes.
• Gynecomastia

  Gynecomastia is the enlargement of male breast tissue. It can result from hormonal imbalances, medications, or underlying medical conditions.
• Hypoglycemia

  Hypoglycemia is a condition characterized by low blood sugar levels. It can result from excessive insulin, certain medications, or medical conditions, leading to symptoms such as dizziness, confusion, and sweating.
