Some conditions treated by our doctors are:

General Medical problems including Hypertension – For hypertension or high blood pressure, our doctors advise us to make healthier lifestyle choices. We also look out for underlying causes of diabetes and obesity that usually trigger hypertension. Some common symptoms to watch out for are shared by our doctors here, including blurry vision, fatigue, heart palpitations, shortness of breath and nausea. Other symptoms may be fainting, headache, nosebleeds, chest pain and vomiting. Our doctors advise a treatment that envelops not just medication but also regular physical exercise, wholesome and nutritious diet, and stress reduction.

Diabetes Complications (Type-1/Type-2 DM/Gestational Diabetes) – A metabolic disease that causes high blood sugar, diabetes may damage the nerves, eyes, kidneys and other organs. There are different types of diabetes, namely,

– Type 1 Diabetes – This is an autoimmune disease where cells in the pancreas are attacked and destroyed.

– Type 2 Diabetes – The build up of sugar in the body, when the body becomes resistant to insulin, is classified as type 2 diabetes.

– Prediabetes – When the blood sugar is higher than normal but not high enough for the above two types, it comes under prediabetes.

Gestational Diabetes – Some women may experience high blood sugar levels during pregnancy. This is chiefly due to insulin-blocking hormones produced by the placenta, thus causing gestational diabetes.

Our doctors treat diabetes based on the symptoms which may include increase in hunger and thirst, weight loss, urination, fatigue, blurry vision, and sores that take very long to heal. Additionally, diabetic men may experience decreased sex drive, erectile dysfunction and poor muscle strength whereas women may have other symptoms such as urinary tract infections, yeast infections and itchy or dry skin.

Thyroid Disorders (Hypothyroidism/Hyperthyroidism) – When the thyroid is not able to make hormones for normal functioning of the body, it is termed as a thyroid disorder. Our doctors have the expertise to distinguish between the two types of thyroid disorders, namely hypothyroidism or underactive thyroid wherein the thyroid gland does not produce enough crucial hormones; and hyperthyroidism or overactive thyroid where there is overproduction of the hormone thyroxine. Hyperthyroidism may cause the body’s metabolism to be accelerated which leads to weight loss and irregular heartbeat. Our doctors realize that untreated hypothyroidism may lead to obesity, joint pains, infertility and heart diseases. Our well-trained doctors provide personalized treatment for the treatment of thyroid disorders.

Obesity – Obesity is not merely a cosmetic issue. It is a complex disease. It may cause health issues such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and even cancer. The causes of obesity may vary from genetic, physiological and environmental factors apart from lifestyle choices. Our doctors sensitively treat obesity with prescription medication, behavior changes and healthier diet.
