For individuals navigating the challenges of diabetes, St John & Elizabeth Hospital provides a comprehensive approach to diagnosis and management. Our dedicated Diabetes Care Centre, equipped with modern facilities and a team of specialists, is committed to delivering exceptional care from your initial diagnosis through to ongoing management.
Diabetes is a condition that affects your body’s ability to process blood glucose, often resulting in too much sugar circulating in the bloodstream. Early diagnosis and effective management are key to maintaining quality of life and preventing complications. Our centre specialises in both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, offering personalised care plans that may include medication, lifestyle adjustments, and education on self-management. We utilise the latest diagnostic tools to accurately assess and monitor your condition, ensuring that your treatment is tailored to your specific needs.
If you’re experiencing symptoms such as increased thirst, frequent urination, hunger, fatigue, or blurred vision, our specialists are here to assist. We recommend seeking medical advice if you have these symptoms or if you have risk factors for diabetes, such as a family history, obesity, or age.
Heavy Sweating Surgery
Heavy sweating, or hyperhidrosis, is a condition that causes excessive sweating beyond what is needed for body temperature regulation. It can significantly impact quality of life, affecting both physical comfort and emotional well-being. The Surgery for Heavy Sweating at St John & Elizabeth Hospital offers advanced treatment options to those seeking relief from this condition, providing a path towards improved comfort and confidence.
Hyperhidrosis can manifest in various areas of the body, including the hands, feet, underarms, and face, leading to discomfort and social anxiety. Our dedicated team employs the latest surgical techniques designed to reduce excessive sweating by targeting the nerves responsible for sweat production. This minimally invasive approach ensures a precise and effective treatment, aiming to provide long-lasting relief and a significant improvement in quality of life.
Frequently Asked Questions About Endocrinology
An endocrinologist is a doctor who specialises in diagnosing and treating hormone-related conditions. These include issues with the thyroid, adrenal glands, pituitary gland, pancreas, and reproductive hormones. They also manage conditions like diabetes, osteoporosis and PCOS. Endocrinologists help you understand how hormones are affecting your health and guide you through treatment options.
Symptoms of a hormone imbalance can vary widely but may include tiredness, weight changes, irregular periods, mood swings, fertility issues, changes in hair or skin, increased thirst, or trouble sleeping. If you’re unsure whether your symptoms are hormone-related, our consultants can help investigate further.
You don’t need a GP referral to book a private appointment, although some patients choose to bring one. If you already have blood test results or other medical records, bringing these to your appointment can be helpful. We also offer in-house diagnostic tests if needed.
Depending on your symptoms, your endocrinologist may recommend blood tests, urine tests, or imaging scans (such as ultrasound or MRI). These help assess how your hormones and glands are working. Many of these tests can be done on the same day at our hospital.
Not always. Some hormonal issues can be managed with lifestyle changes or regular monitoring, while others may need medication or further treatment. Your consultant will take the time to explain all your options and help you decide what’s best for your health and lifestyle.
Many hormone test results are available within a few days. If imaging is required, the timing will depend on the type of scan, but we aim to keep waiting times as short as possible. Your consultant will explain when to expect results and book a follow-up to talk things through.
