Thyroid Disease, Thyroid Nodules and Thyroid Cancer

Thyroid disease is defined as any dysfunction or disorder that affects the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland is shaped similarly to a butterfly and is located at the front of the neck. The thyroid fulfills several important roles to regulate numerous metabolic processes throughout the body. Different types of thyroid disorders affect either its structure or function.

Osteoporosis and Metabolic Bone Disease

Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disease. Bone disorders are generally caused by an imbalance of calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D, bone mass or structure and affect the strength of the bones. It is important to treat these conditions to avoid serious fragility and deformity.

Pituitary Disease and Pituitary Tumors

The pituitary gland is the primary gland because the hormones it produces affect the growth and function of the body's other glands. Generally, pituitary disorders stem from too much or too little of a hormone. Pituitary tumors are growths on the gland that mostly are noncancerous but do affect the balance of your body's hormones.

Testosterone Deficiency

Testosterone is the hormone that causes the development of male characteristics, such as facial hair, sex organs and muscle density. It is also essential for bone growth, general health in men and sexual function. There is no cure for a testosterone deficiency but there are continued treatment plans that can regulate levels of production.

Adrenal disorders

At the top of each kidney sits an adrenal gland. When properly functioning the adrenal gland produces hormones that are vital for your body to control and maintain blood sugar, regulate blood pressure, burn protein, handle illness and much more.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a hormonal disorder that affects 1 in 10 women of childbearing age. PCOS can make menstruation irregular, affect fertility and when untreated can increase the risk of getting serious health issues, such as diabetes and heart disease.

Hormone Replacement Therapy for Menopausal Symptoms

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can be used to treat menopausal symptoms that are directly associated with lower estrogen levels, such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness, mood swings and more.

Weight Management

Obesity is linked to several health problems, including diabetes, high blood pressure and hormone imbalances. We can help you design a weight management plan that works for you with the goal of giving you a healthier lifestyle.

Thyroid Ultrasound

Ultrasounds are simple and painless procedures that use sound to examine the condition of the inside of your body. Thyroid ultrasounds are used to check for irregularities, such as cysts, growths, nodules and tumors.

Fine Needle Aspiration Thyroid

A fine needle aspiration biopsy of a thyroid nodule is a simple and safe procedure performed at Wellspire Medical Group two convenient locations (Humble and Atascocita). Typically, the biopsy is performed under ultrasound guidance to ensure accurate placement of the needle within the thyroid nodule. You will be asked to lie down on your back with your head tipped backwards, so that your neck is extended.

ACTH Stimulation Test

ACTH Stimulation Test is a measure of how well the body's adrenal gland responds to stress by injecting ACTH into the blood stream. After the ACTH is injected and is given time to react with your body, blood is drawn to measure your cortisol levels.

IV Reclast

Reclast is a medication that impedes the release of calcium from bones. When injected intravenously it can be used to treat Paget's disease and can help prevent osteoporosis in men and postmenopausal women.

Prolia

Prolia® is a prescription medicine used to treat osteoporosis (thinning and weakening of bone) in women after menopause who are at high risk for fracture, meaning women who have had a fracture related to osteoporosis. Or who have multiple risk factors for fracture and cannot use another osteoporosis medicine or other osteoporosis medicines did not work well such as subdural effusions, empyema, and hydrocephalus.

Insulin Pumps

An insulin pump is a small device about the size of a small cell phone that is worn externally and can be discreetly clipped to your belt, slipped into a pocket, or hidden under your clothes. It delivers precise doses of rapid-acting insulin to closely match your body’s needs. Since the insulin pump uses only more predictable rapid-acting insulin, you will not need to follow a strict schedule for eating, activity, and insulin injections.

Hemoglobin A1c

The hemoglobin A1c test tells you your average level of blood sugar over the past 2 to 3 months. It's also called HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin test, and glycohemoglobin. People who have diabetes need this test regularly to see if their levels are staying within range. It can tell if you need to adjust your diabetes medicines. The A1c test is also used to diagnose diabetes.

Continuous Glucose Monitoring

Without diabetes, your body tracks glucose levels all day and night to ensure the right amount of insulin is released at the right time. To successfully manage diabetes, a monitoring system is needed to consistently check your glucose levels. The most common glucose monitoring solutions are blood glucose meters and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems.

Labs

Lab tests an endocrinologist orders are designed to diagnose hormone-related diseases ranging from diabetes to osteoporosis. The endocrine system contains eight major glands that make hormones, which travel through the bloodstream to tissues and organs and affect virtually every bodily process. The endocrine system shapes growth, metabolism, sexual function, and mood.
