Endocrinology
9 years
Dr. Rohit Barnabas is a Consultant Endocrinologist associated with Fortis Hospital, Mulund, Mumbai. He specialises in hormonal and metabolic conditions affecting adults, pregnant women and children.
Dr. Barnabas holds MBBS, MD in General Medicine and DM in Endocrinology qualifications. His specialist endocrine education includes training at Seth G. S. Medical College, Mumbai, following postgraduate training in general medicine.
His documented areas of expertise include diabetes mellitus, thyroid disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome, obesity, pituitary and adrenal disorders, and osteoporosis. These conditions require specialist evaluation of hormone function and metabolic health.
Dr. Barnabas also manages endocrine conditions during pregnancy, including gestational diabetes and thyroid disorders. His paediatric endocrine interests include delayed puberty, early puberty, short stature, growth disorders, rickets and metabolic bone diseases.
Endocrinology management may involve hormone testing, imaging, medication, nutritional guidance and long-term monitoring. Patients seeking assessment for hormonal, diabetic or metabolic concerns may consult Dr. Barnabas at Fortis Hospital, Mulund, subject to current availability.
Diabetes management focuses on controlling blood glucose levels and reducing the risk of complications. Treatment may include lifestyle changes, oral medication, insulin or other therapies. Regular monitoring helps assess treatment effectiveness and identify complications affecting the eyes, kidneys, nerves and cardiovascular system.
Thyroid disorders occur when thyroid hormone production is abnormal or structural thyroid disease develops. Symptoms may include weight changes, fatigue, palpitations and temperature intolerance. Assessment includes blood tests and imaging when indicated, with treatment based on the specific diagnosis.
Hypothyroidism develops when the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones. Symptoms may include tiredness, constipation and cold intolerance. Treatment generally involves thyroid hormone replacement and periodic blood testing to guide the appropriate dose.
Hyperthyroidism results from excessive thyroid hormone production and may cause palpitations, weight loss, tremors and heat intolerance. Treatment depends on the cause and may include medication, radioiodine therapy or surgery following specialist assessment.
Polycystic ovary syndrome is a hormonal and metabolic condition associated with menstrual irregularities, androgen-related symptoms and sometimes insulin resistance. Treatment depends on individual symptoms and reproductive plans and may include lifestyle measures and medication.
Obesity management involves evaluating weight-related health risks and possible metabolic or hormonal contributors. Treatment may include nutrition guidance, physical activity, behavioural strategies and appropriate medication. Recommendations depend on individual medical conditions and treatment goals.
Pituitary disorders affect a gland that regulates several important hormones. Conditions may cause changes in growth, reproduction, metabolism or other body functions. Evaluation often includes hormone testing and imaging, with treatment depending on the underlying abnormality.
Adrenal disorders affect glands responsible for producing hormones involved in blood pressure, metabolism and stress responses. Evaluation may include specialised blood tests and imaging. Treatment depends on whether hormone production is excessive, insufficient or affected by a structural lesion.
Osteoporosis is a condition in which bone strength decreases, increasing fracture risk. Assessment considers age, medical history, bone density and contributing conditions. Management may involve exercise, nutrition, vitamin D and calcium assessment, and medication when indicated.
Gestational diabetes causes elevated blood glucose during pregnancy. Treatment includes nutritional guidance, regular glucose monitoring and medication when necessary. Appropriate care helps reduce maternal and fetal complications and requires coordination with the obstetric team.
Thyroid disorders during pregnancy require careful assessment because maternal thyroid hormone levels can affect pregnancy and fetal development. Management may involve thyroid function testing, medication adjustment and monitoring at intervals appropriate to the condition.
Short stature assessment investigates children whose height or growth pattern falls below expected ranges. Evaluation includes growth records, family history, examination and selected investigations. Treatment depends on whether the cause is familial, nutritional, hormonal or related to another condition.
Delayed puberty occurs when expected physical changes of sexual maturation do not begin within the usual age range. Assessment includes reviewing growth, family history and hormone levels. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and developmental circumstances.
Precocious puberty refers to unusually early development of secondary sexual characteristics. Evaluation helps determine whether early hormonal activation or another condition is responsible. Management depends on the child's age, growth pattern and diagnosis.
Rickets is a condition in growing children that affects bone mineralisation, commonly associated with vitamin D, calcium or phosphate abnormalities. Evaluation may involve blood tests and imaging. Treatment depends on the specific metabolic or nutritional cause.
