Endocrine (Hormonal) Disorders

At Nakshatra Health, we provide specialized care for endocrine disorders, ensuring that your hormonal health is carefully managed to maintain overall well-being. The endocrine system consists of glands that produce and regulate hormones, which control many of the body’s vital functions, including metabolism, growth, reproduction, and mood. When the endocrine system is disrupted, it can lead to a wide range of health issues that need expert attention.

What are Endocrine Disorders?

Endocrine disorders occur when there is an imbalance in hormone production, either due to an overactive or underactive gland. These imbalances can affect various organs and systems in the body, leading to health complications. Common endocrine disorders include:

• Diabetes: A condition where the body doesn’t produce enough insulin or cannot use insulin effectively, leading to high blood sugar levels.
• Thyroid Disorders: Conditions such as hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) affect the body’s metabolism.
• Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): A hormonal disorder affecting women, leading to irregular periods, weight gain, and fertility issues.
• Adrenal Disorders: Problems with the adrenal glands can affect cortisol production, leading to conditions like Addison’s disease or Cushing’s syndrome.
• Growth Disorders: Imbalances in growth hormone can lead to conditions like gigantism or dwarfism.
  
  

Symptoms of Endocrine Disorders

Endocrine disorders can manifest in a variety of symptoms, depending on which gland is affected. Common symptoms may include:

• Unexplained weight gain or loss
• Fatigue or weakness
• Mood swings or depression
• Changes in heart rate
• Irregular menstrual cycles
• Excessive thirst or frequent urination (diabetes)
• Sleep disturbances
