Endocrinology

Endocrinology

Overview

Endocrinology is the branch of medicine that deals with hormones and the glands that control them. Hormones play a major role in how your body works—from metabolism and energy levels to growth, mood, and reproduction. Even a small imbalance can affect your overall health. At UNIFAI Hospital, our endocrinology team focuses on identifying hormone-related issues early and managing them effectively. With lifestyle changes, stress, and genetics contributing to a rise in endocrine disorders, expert care has become more important than ever. That’s why UNIFAI Hospital is trusted as one of the Best Endocrinology Hospitals In Chennai for comprehensive hormonal care.

Endocrine Conditions We Treat

Endocrine disorders occur when glands produce too much or too little hormone. These conditions can silently impact multiple systems in the body if not treated on time.

Common Endocrine Disorders Include:

  • Diabetes (Type 1 & Type 2)
  • Thyroid disorders – Hypothyroidism & Hyperthyroidism
  • Adrenal gland disorders – Addison’s disease, Cushing’s syndrome
  • Pituitary gland disorders – including acromegaly
  • Hormonal imbalances affecting growth, metabolism, and reproduction

Our specialists design treatment plans that focus on long-term balance, not just symptom control.

How Endocrine Disorders Are Diagnosed

Diagnosis starts with understanding your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle. Based on this, our endocrinologists recommend precise diagnostic tests to identify the root cause.

Diagnostic Methods Include:

  • Blood tests to measure hormone levels
  • Thyroid function tests and insulin analysis
  • HbA1c testing for blood sugar control
  • Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT)
  • Imaging tests like ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI

Accurate diagnosis allows us to create personalized treatment plans that prevent future complications.

Diabetes Care Under Endocrinology

Diabetes is one of the most common endocrine disorders and requires continuous monitoring and expert guidance. Whether it’s insulin deficiency or insulin resistance, proper management is key to avoiding complications.

Diabetes Management Includes:

  • Blood sugar monitoring
  • Insulin therapy and medications
  • Lifestyle guidance on diet and physical activity
  • Prevention and management of complications like neuropathy

At UNIFAI Hospital, diabetes care is integrated with overall hormonal health for better outcomes.
