Endocrinology is the specialist branch of medicine that deals with the interplay of complex hormonal and associated metabolic disorders, which can have a profound influence on an individual's health and well-being.
A visit to the endocrinologist usually involves:
  • A detailed medical history
  • A thorough clinical examination related to the endocrine dysfunction being suspected and any other associated system
  • Plan any relevant blood and/or urine tests
  • Plan any imaging tests - ultrasound/ CT scans/ MRI scans/ Radio-isotope scans/DEXA scan.
  • An explanation of your management plan.
While many everyday hormone-related concerns can be wonderfully managed by your primary care team, some situations benefit from a more specialised touch.

If your GP has identified a hormone or metabolic condition, partnering with an Endocrinologist can give you an extra layer of support. Because these conditions can be complex, long-term, and affect different parts of your body, a specialist can help map out a detailed, personalised plan just for you. A specialist review is particularly helpful if your symptoms are feeling a bit atypical, or if your current treatments aren't quite giving you the relief you deserve.

Endocrine tests are designed to assess the structure and function of the endocrine gland in question.

Depending on which test you’re having, you may:
  • Require a blood test at any time or at a particular time of the day. 
  • Require several blood tests taken at regular intervals to better understand the pattern of a hormonal disorder.
  • Require an injection or a tablet or to drink a particular liquid to help facilitate the test.
  • Have to ‘fast’ for several hours before the test. 
  • Have to collect your urine - either over 24 hours or the first morning sample
  • Have to collect your saliva.
  • Undergo Ultrasound/CT scan/MRI scan/Radio-isotope scan of the endocrine organ being investigated.
