Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Endocrine care with Dr. Suhail BS:

What is an Endocrinologist?

An endocrinologist is a doctor specializing in the endocrine system, which includes the glands that produce hormones. They diagnose and treat hormonal imbalances, and manage conditions like diabetes, thyroid disorders, osteoporosis, and polycystic ovary syndrome (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 involves the body not using insulin effectively (insulin resistance), often managed initially with lifestyle changes and oral medications, and insulin may be needed later.

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

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

What is Graves' disease?

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

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

After confirming low testosterone levels with blood tests, Dr. Suhail BS can discuss various safe and effective testosterone replacement therapy options, such as gels, injections, or pellets, to restore normal hormone levels and alleviate symptoms like fatigue and low libido.

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

Common symptoms of an underactive thyroid include fatigue, weight gain, constipation, dry skin, hair loss, and feeling cold. These symptoms are often effectively resolved with thyroid hormone replacement therapy, which Dr. Suhail BS can prescribe and manage.

What is the A1c test and why is it important?

The A1c test is a blood test that shows your average blood sugar level over the past 2-3 months, unlike a daily finger-stick which is a snapshot in time. It's a crucial tool for diagnosing diabetes and monitoring long-term glucose control to help prevent future complications.

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 becoming too large, reduces the risk of a cesarean delivery, and lowers your future risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
