Endocrinology
Keeping the Hormones in Check
In India there is a high incidence of hormone-related diseases like diabetes and thyroid malfunctions. The presence of a facility like the Alchemist is very important for finding correct cures for such debilitating diseases. The department has grown through close consultations between experts and the management to provide help for such patients.
These are manageable disorders if certain precautions are adhered to. Therefore doctor's counseling becomes a major part of the treatment. Hormonal disturbance can affect all organs of the body and it is essential that they are kept firmly in check. Any avoidance from a suggested treatment may lead to severe ramifications, leading to very damaging ulcers to amputation of the affected parts.
The pathology department contributes in a big way by providing leads for accurate treatment. Regular check-ups help expecting mothers to check hormonal imbalances that might affect them and their fetus.
