Diabetes / Endocrinology

The endocrine system regulates the hormones in the body. Endocrinology is the branch of medicine that deals with the endocrine system. Hormonal imbalances are one of the major contributors to diseases such as thyroid conditions, pituitary issues, appetite, obesity, and many more.

Diabetes affects how the body processes food into energy. Insulin is needed to regulate blood sugar levels, but with diabetes, there is insufficient insulin, or the body cannot use it properly. That leads to high blood sugar levels and can cause serious health problems over time. Diabetes is a long-term health condition that needs to be managed to avoid serious health complications.

Medcy Rehabilitation ensures your endocrine health is in the best shape with the help of a skilled team of endocrinologists who create personalised treatment plans, suggest lifestyle changes, and more.

Types of Endocrinology Services at Medcy Hospitals

Maintaining optimal endocrine health requires a multidisciplinary approach that includes a healthcare team, medicinal support, and lifestyle changes to facilitate a healthier quality of life. Here are the main endocrine healthcare services you can find at Medcy Hospitals.

Podiatry/ Diabetic Foot Care

Foot care, also called podiatry, is crucial for diabetes patients since several complications of diabetes affect the feet. Podiatrists specialise in diagnosing and treating ankle, foot, and lower extremity disorders in individuals with diabetes. Diabetic patients can develop diabetic foot ulcers due to poor circulation, which, if advanced, can lead to amputations or major surgery. Regular foot checkups and good foot care are important to prevent surgical procedures.

Endocrine surgery

Disorders that affect the endocrine system and its glands are treated with endocrine surgery. The procedure removes a part of, or the entire gland, to regulate the hormone release. If the gland fails to work correctly, producing too much or too little hormone, then surgery is needed. Endocrine surgery mainly deals with diseases of the adrenal, thyroid, parathyroid, endocrine pancreas, and neuroendocrine glands.

Metabolic Surgery

Diabetes can be treated with metabolic surgery, often done to treat metabolic diseases. Metabolic syndrome increases the risk of developing diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol or Dyslipidemia. Obesity is also one of the main reasons for developing diabetes.

Obese patients who are at risk of or have already developed type 2 diabetes can choose to undergo metabolic surgery if they have not lost weight through diet or exercise. Regular diabetic patients can also undergo metabolic surgery upon consulting with their doctor.

Paediatrics Endocrinology

A subspecialty of endocrinology, paediatrics endocrinology deals with endocrine disorders among children and adolescents. This speciality treats diabetes, thyroid, growth, puberty, or other disorders related to the endocrine glands and their hormone production. A paediatric endocrinologist ensures each gland works optimally and treats complications among children to make sure it does not affect their growth and development.
