THE CENTRE FOR THYROID, BREAST AND ENDOCRINE DISORDERS

is a highly specialized centre which deals with disorders of Endocrine organs, Breast and all other related issues.
Endocrine disorders are diseases related to the endocrine glands of the body like thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal etc. The endocrine system produces hormones, which are chemical signals sent out, or secreted, through the bloodstream. Hormones help the body regulate nearly all other functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, fluid, electrolyte & blood glucose balance, femaleness or maleness, and weight control. If your hormone levels are too high or too low, you may have a hormone disorder. Hormone diseases also occur if your body does not respond to hormones the way it is supposed to. Most of these disturbances occur when the gland gets enlarged or there is a mass lesion in these glands which is disturbing hormones or there is a cancerous growth in these glands.
