Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Endocrine care with Dr. Charyse Sindler:

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 doesn't produce insulin, requiring lifelong insulin therapy. Type 2 diabetes is a condition where the body doesn't use insulin properly (insulin resistance), often managed initially with lifestyle changes and oral medications, and sometimes requiring insulin later.

How can an endocrinologist help with weight management?

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

What is Hashimoto's disease?

Hashimoto's disease is the most common cause of an underactive thyroid in the U.S. It's an autoimmune disorder where the body's immune system attacks the thyroid gland, causing damage over time. Fortunately, it's easily managed with thyroid hormone replacement therapy.

What is a pituitary adenoma?

A pituitary adenoma is a benign tumor of the pituitary gland. Sometimes these tumors cause problems by overproducing hormones or growing large enough to press on nearby structures. Dr. Charyse Sindler is an expert in diagnosing and medically managing these tumors.

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. Sindler 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.

What are the treatment options for Low Testosterone (Low T) in men?

After confirming low testosterone levels with blood tests, Dr. Sindler can discuss various safe and effective testosterone replacement therapy options, including gels, injections, or pellets, to restore normal hormone levels and alleviate symptoms.

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. Sindler can prescribe and monitor.
