Hormone Disorders in India: Key Numbers
Thyroid disease is common. An epidemiological study across eight Indian cities by Unnikrishnan and colleagues, published in the Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism in 2013, found hypothyroidism in 10.95% of 5,360 adults, many of whom did not know they had it.
Diabetes and obesity are the other big hormone-related problems. The ICMR-INDIAB study (2023) found diabetes in 11.4% and generalised obesity in 28.6% of Indian adults. In Telangana, diabetes prevalence was estimated at between 7.5% and 9.9%.
Common Hormone Tests
| Test | What it checks | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| TSH and free T4 | Thyroid function | Tiredness, weight change, thyroid swelling |
| HbA1c and fasting glucose | Blood sugar control | Diabetes diagnosis and monitoring |
| Thyroid ultrasound | Nodules and goitre | Neck swelling |
| Prolactin, LH, FSH, testosterone | Reproductive hormones | PCOS, irregular periods, infertility |
| Morning cortisol | Adrenal function | Weakness, low BP, long-term steroid use |
What to Expect at Your First Visit
- History: symptoms, weight change, periods, family history and all medicines, including steroids.
- Examination: weight, blood pressure, thyroid gland and signs of hormone excess or deficiency.
- Tests: targeted hormone tests and scans.
- Plan: medicines, dose adjustments and diet and lifestyle advice.
- Follow-up: repeat tests every few months until stable.
Endocrinologist or Diabetologist?
| Doctor | Training | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Endocrinologist | DM or DNB in endocrinology | Thyroid, PCOS, pituitary, adrenal, type 1 and difficult diabetes |
| Diabetologist | MD with diabetes fellowship | Routine type 2 diabetes care and follow-up |
How to Choose the Right Endocrinologist in Manikonda
- Check the qualification: look for a DM or DNB in endocrinology, or UK training such as MRCP with a speciality certificate in endocrinology and diabetes.
- Match the problem: thyroid disease, difficult diabetes, PCOS, obesity, osteoporosis, and pituitary or adrenal disorders each benefit from a doctor with a special interest.
- Look at the set-up: a hospital lab for hormone tests, a diabetes educator and dietitian, and easy access to scans make care smoother.
- Bring your records: thyroid tests, HbA1c and sugar readings, earlier scans and a list of medicines, including doses, save time.
- Ask about long-term follow-up: most hormone conditions need regular review and dose changes, so choose a doctor you can see again easily.
Symptoms That Should Not Wait
Red-Flag Alert
Go to the emergency department at once for very high blood sugar with vomiting, deep fast breathing or drowsiness, very low sugar with confusion or fits, or severe weakness, low blood pressure and vomiting in someone taking steroid tablets. A rapidly growing neck swelling with breathing difficulty also needs urgent care.

For thyroid symptoms, newly found diabetes or weight gain, a first assessment with a general physician is a sensible start.
