FAQ's

During your consultation with our endocrinologist, a comprehensive evaluation of your symptoms, medical and family history, lifestyle, and previous consultations, if any, is done. Physical examinations, including checking your vital signs such as blood pressure and diabetes, are conducted. Screening or imaging might be recommended based on your assessment. Depending on the results, treatment plans are crafted and discussed.

You should bring records of your previous consultations, including blood and imaging reports, consultation notes, prescriptions, and insurance papers. If this is your first appointment, our administrative team at Apollo Hospitals in Hyderguda, Hyderabad, will assist you in filling out forms and collecting the necessary details.

Treatment plans are generally drafted based on the severity and type of the condition. Typical treatments for endocrine disorders include lifestyle modifications, medications, or hormone replacement therapy to restore hormone balance. Surgery is often recommended when traditional treatments do not respond to your condition.

Eating healthy food, performing regular exercise, avoiding processed or packaged food, refraining from late-night snacks and junk, abstaining from smoking or drinking, and attending regular check-ups can help you prevent endocrine disorders.
