Diabetes management involves monitoring blood glucose, assessing complications and developing an individualised care plan. Treatment may include medication, lifestyle measures and regular follow-up. Dr. Tejaswi's listed expertise includes Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, MODY, secondary diabetes and gestational diabetes, each of which may require a different assessment and management approach.
Thyroid disorders occur when the thyroid gland produces too much or too little hormone, or develops structural abnormalities. Hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism and thyroid nodules may require blood tests, imaging or further evaluation. Treatment depends on the diagnosis, symptoms and investigation results, with follow-up tailored to the patient's condition.
The pituitary gland regulates several hormones involved in growth, reproduction, metabolism and other body functions. Pituitary disorders may cause hormonal deficiencies or excess hormone production. Evaluation can include hormone testing and imaging when indicated, followed by condition-specific treatment or referral to other specialists where necessary.
The adrenal glands produce hormones that help regulate blood pressure, metabolism and the body's response to stress. Adrenal disorders may involve hormone excess or deficiency and can produce a range of symptoms. Assessment may include blood or urine tests and imaging where appropriate, with treatment based on the identified condition.
Obesity management may involve assessing metabolic risk factors, associated medical conditions, medication history and lifestyle factors. An individualised plan can include evidence-based nutrition and activity guidance, treatment of related conditions and medication when clinically appropriate. Ongoing monitoring helps assess progress and address health risks associated with excess body weight.
PCOS is a hormonal and metabolic condition that may affect menstrual cycles, androgen levels, fertility and metabolic health. Evaluation depends on the patient's symptoms, medical history and appropriate diagnostic criteria. Management may address menstrual concerns, metabolic risk and individual reproductive goals, with treatment selected according to clinical needs.
Osteoporosis reduces bone strength and increases the risk of fractures. Metabolic bone disorders may also arise from abnormalities involving calcium, vitamin D, parathyroid hormone or other factors. Assessment may include blood tests and bone density testing where indicated. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and the patient's fracture risk.
Gestational diabetes is diabetes first identified during pregnancy and requires appropriate monitoring to support maternal and foetal health. Management may involve glucose monitoring, nutrition guidance and medication when required. Care should be coordinated with the obstetric team, and follow-up after pregnancy is important because future diabetes risk may be increased.
Short stature in children or adolescents may be associated with familial growth patterns, nutritional factors, chronic illness or hormonal conditions. Evaluation considers growth charts, growth rate, family history and clinical findings. Hormone investigations may be recommended when indicated, and management depends on the cause and the child's stage of development.
Electrolyte abnormalities and elevated blood calcium can result from hormonal disorders, kidney problems, medications or other medical conditions. Assessment involves interpreting laboratory results alongside symptoms, medical history and other relevant tests. Treatment depends on the severity and underlying cause, and significant abnormalities may require prompt medical attention.
A thyroid nodule is a lump within the thyroid gland and may be detected during examination or imaging. Evaluation can involve thyroid function tests, ultrasound and further investigation when indicated. Most nodules are not cancerous, but assessment helps determine whether monitoring, additional testing or specialist treatment is appropriate.
Some hormonal conditions can contribute to high blood pressure, including selected adrenal disorders. Evaluation may be appropriate when hypertension is difficult to control or other clinical features suggest an endocrine cause. Investigation and treatment depend on the suspected disorder, with care coordinated alongside other clinicians when necessary.
