Endocrinology: Treatments We Offer

• Medications: Medications are used to replace deficient hormones or balance the effects of excess hormone production. Some of the medications include:

  • Antihormonal medications: These medications block the action of overproduced hormones such as antithyroid medications for hyperthyroidism and glucocorticoid antagonists for Cushing's syndrome.

  • Other medications: Different medications are used to manage specific symptoms or complications associated with endocrine disorders. These include pain relievers for arthritis, blood pressure medications for hypertension, and cholesterol-lowering medications for dyslipidemia.

  • Surgery: Surgeries are performed to treat several endocrine disorders. Some common endocrine surgeries include:

  • Thyroidectomy: Removal of all or part of the thyroid gland generally in the case of thyroid cancer, goiter, or hyperthyroidism.
