Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Endocrine care with Dr. Milad Khoury:

What is an Endocrinologist?

An endocrinologist is a doctor specializing in the endocrine system, the network of glands that produce hormones. They are experts in diagnosing and treating hormonal imbalances, and managing 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, often managed initially with lifestyle changes and oral medications, but may eventually require insulin.

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, helping assess your fracture risk and enabling preventive strategies.

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. Khoury 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. Khoury 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.

I have a thyroid nodule. Does this mean I have cancer?

The vast majority of thyroid nodules are benign. Dr. Khoury is experienced in evaluating thyroid nodules, often using ultrasound and sometimes a fine-needle aspiration biopsy to determine if further testing is necessary.

What is Graves' disease?

Graves' disease is the most common cause of an overactive thyroid. It's an autoimmune disorder where your immune system mistakenly attacks your thyroid, causing it to produce too much hormone. Fortunately, it's a treatable condition managed effectively by an endocrinologist.

What is osteoporosis and how can I prevent it?

Osteoporosis is a condition that causes bones to become weak and brittle, increasing the risk of fractures. Ensuring adequate calcium and vitamin D intake, performing weight-bearing exercise, and avoiding smoking are key prevention strategies. Dr. Khoury can assess your risk and recommend a bone density scan.
