The Endocrine Clinic provides assessment and management of endocrine (hormone) disorders that affect fertility and the female reproductive system.
These conditions include polycystic ovarian syndrome, premature ovarian insufficiency, pituitary disorders, adrenal disorders, thyroid disorders and hypothalamic disorders. Excess body weight, and its effect upon fertility and the female reproductive system, is also treated in this clinic. If your doctor suspects you have one of these conditions, a referral can be made to the clinic where you will be assessed and treated.
Health issues treated
Polycystic ovarian syndrome, premature ovarian insufficiency, pituitary disorders, adrenal disorders, thyroid disorders, hypothalamic disorders, and excess weight.
What we do
At the clinic, we will measure the levels of hormones in your blood to check how well your endocrine system is working. We will also assess your fertility which might include testing whether you are producing an egg (ovulating) every month or performing an ultrasound to check if you have any fibroids, cysts or polyps.
We will then work with you to treat an endocrine disorder and manage the symptoms of the disorder. We might also assist with starting your ovulation. We also work with some consumers on a lifestyle assessment and weight management strategy to reduce the impact of excess weight on fertility.
