Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Endocrine care with Dr. Andreina Rojas:

What is an Endocrinologist?

An endocrinologist is a doctor specializing in the endocrine system, the network of glands that produce hormones. They diagnose and treat hormonal imbalances, and manage conditions like diabetes, thyroid disorders, osteoporosis, and PCOS.

What is the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes?

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body stops producing insulin, requiring lifelong insulin therapy. Type 2 diabetes is characterized by the body's ineffective use of insulin (insulin resistance), often managed initially with lifestyle changes and oral medications, and sometimes progressing to insulin therapy.

How can an endocrinologist help with weight management?

Dr. Andreina Rojas can investigate and treat any underlying hormonal imbalances contributing to weight gain. She uses an evidence-based approach, which may include lifestyle counseling and prescription medications for obesity.

I was told I have prediabetes. Can I prevent it from becoming Type 2 diabetes?

Yes, a prediabetes diagnosis is a critical opportunity for prevention. Dr. Andreina Rojas can create a personalized plan involving modest weight loss, dietary changes, and increased physical activity, which can significantly delay or even prevent the onset of Type 2 diabetes.

Why is it important to control blood sugar during pregnancy?

Controlling blood sugar during pregnancy is vital to prevent complications for both you and your baby. It helps prevent the baby from growing too large, reduces the risk of a cesarean delivery, and lowers your risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life.

What is a bone density test (DEXA scan)?

A DEXA scan is a simple, low-radiation X-ray that measures bone mineral density. It's the gold standard for diagnosing osteopenia and osteoporosis, and helps assess your fracture risk, making it a critical preventive tool.

What is metabolic syndrome?

Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions, including high blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess belly fat, and abnormal cholesterol levels, that significantly increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Managing these conditions is a key preventive strategy.

What are the common symptoms of an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism)?

Common symptoms of hypothyroidism include fatigue, weight gain, constipation, dry skin, hair loss, and feeling cold. These symptoms are often effectively managed with thyroid hormone replacement therapy, which Dr. Andreina Rojas can prescribe and monitor.
