The endocrine system controls hormone production and regulates many vital functions in the body. When this system does not work properly, it can cause a wide range of symptoms and health problems.
Book an endocrinology consultation at Kingston Private Health if you experience:
- Sudden weight changes or problems with body balance
- Excessive sleepiness or insomnia
- Severe hair loss or baldness
- Persistent skin changes (acne, dryness, discoloration)
- Chronic fatigue
- Tremors or hyperactivity
- Weak immune system
- Excessive sweating
- Fertility or potency problems
- Digestive issues (very fast or slow intestinal peristalsis)
- Changes in voice tone
- Constant feeling of being cold
These may be signs of thyroid disease, adrenal disorders, or other endocrine conditions.
Dr Muralidhara (aka Dr Murali) runs endocrine clinics providing care for a wide range of endocrine conditions including:
Thyroid diseases
Common disorders are hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid, where your thyroid gland in your neck fails to produce enough thyroid hormones) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid, when your thyroid gland procudes too much of the hormones T3 and T4). Dr Murali can offer assessments of hormone levels (T3, T4).
Male and female infertility related to hormonal imbalance
Parathyroid disorders
Parathyroid issues generally involve an imbalance of parathyroid hormone (PTH), which controls your body's calcium and phosphorus levels. These issues can cause osteoporosis, kidney disease, and muscle weakness so it is important you book an appointment with Dr Murali if you have any concerns.
Hypothalamic–pituitary system diseases
Hypothalamic and pituitary system diseases—like Hypopituitarism - disrupt your body's hormone production and water balance. Diagnosis and treatment can be coordinated by Dr Murali.
Adrenal gland diseases
Adrenal gland disorders occur when small glands on top of your kidneys produce too much or too little essential hormones (like cortisol, aldosterone, or adrenaline). The most common adrenal gland disorder is Addison’s disease - people with this condition don't produce enough cortisol and/or aldosterone (a hormone that regulates salt, water, and potassium levels). Conn’s syndrome (also known as primary hyperaldosteronism) is another condition where your adrenal glands produce too much aldosterone,
