The Endocrinology Department at Joshi Hospital, Pune, provides comprehensive care for hormonal and metabolic disorders that affect individuals across all age groups. Hormones play a crucial role in regulating vital body functions such as growth, metabolism, reproduction, energy balance, and mood. Even minor imbalances can lead to significant health issues. Our department focuses on accurate diagnosis, long-term management, and holistic treatment of endocrine conditions using evidence-based medical practices and modern diagnostic facilities.

Extensive Evaluation of Hormonal Disorders

Endocrine disorders often present with subtle symptoms that are easy to overlook. At Joshi Hospital, we begin with a detailed consultation and a thorough review of medical history, lifestyle habits, and family health patterns. This initial assessment is followed by targeted laboratory investigations and imaging studies to identify underlying hormonal irregularities. Our specialists emphasize early detection and preventive strategies, as timely intervention can significantly reduce complications and improve overall health.

Diabetes Care & Management

Diabetes is one of the most prevalent endocrine conditions, and effective management requires continuous monitoring and patient education. The department provides complete care for all forms of diabetes, including Type 1, Type 2, gestational diabetes, and pre-diabetes. Treatment plans are customized to suit individual needs and may include medication, insulin therapy, dietary planning, foot-care guidance, and lifestyle modifications. Regular follow-ups help prevent long-term complications such as kidney disease, nerve damage, eye problems, and cardiovascular issues. Our multi-disciplinary approach ensures coordinated care with dieticians, ophthalmologists, nephrologists, and podiatry services.

Thyroid Disorders

The department offers specialized care for thyroid-related conditions such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, thyroid nodules, goitre, and autoimmune thyroid diseases like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Graves’ disease. We conduct high-quality thyroid function tests, ultrasound imaging, and hormone assessments to determine the exact nature of the disorder. Based on the diagnosis, patients receive medication management, radioactive iodine therapy recommendations, or guidance regarding surgical intervention when required.

Metabolic Bone Disorders

Endocrinologists at Joshi Hospital also manage metabolic bone conditions such as osteoporosis, osteopenia, vitamin D deficiency, calcium imbalance, and parathyroid disorders. These issues often lead to weak bones, fractures, and long-term instability. Our specialists focus on early diagnosis through bone density scans, blood tests, and risk evaluations. Treatment includes dietary changes, supplementation, medication therapy, and lifestyle modifications aimed at strengthening bones and reducing fracture risk.

Hormonal Imbalance in Men & Women

Hormonal health plays a critical role in reproduction, menstruation, sexual wellness, and overall metabolism. The department provides care for conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), menstrual irregularities, menopause-related symptoms, male hormonal imbalance, and infertility associated with endocrine dysfunction. We work closely with gynaecologists and urologists to ensure coordinated and effective treatment. Customized hormonal therapies and lifestyle counselling form an essential part of our treatment approach.

Pituitary & Adrenal Gland Disorders

The pituitary and adrenal glands control many body functions, and disorders affecting these glands can lead to complex symptoms such as fatigue, weight changes, blood pressure fluctuations, and mood disturbances. The department offers diagnosis and management of conditions including Cushing’s syndrome, Addison’s disease, pituitary tumours, acromegaly, and hormonal deficiency states. Advanced hormone testing and endocrine imaging support accurate decision-making and long-term care plans.

Comprehensive Diagnostic Support

Joshi Hospital is equipped with modern diagnostic facilities that play a key role in endocrine evaluation. Services include:

• Hormone assays
• Blood glucose profiling
• Thyroid panels
• Bone density scans
• Ultrasound imaging
• Dynamic endocrine testing

These facilities help ensure accurate diagnosis and effective monitoring of chronic conditions.

Long-Term Management & Patient Education

Most endocrine disorders require ongoing monitoring and lifestyle guidance. Our specialists focus on patient education, medication adherence, diet and exercise recommendations, and risk reduction strategies. By addressing both clinical and lifestyle factors, we aim to improve daily functioning, prevent complications, and support long-term wellness.
