Our Approach to Hormonal Health
At Volusia Medical Center, we understand how hormones can affect your life in different ways. Our team, which includes experienced endocrinologists, nurse practitioners, and healthcare professionals, takes a caring and personal approach to helping you. We listen to your worries, understand your symptoms and goals, and work together to make a plan that's just for you and fixes the root of your hormone problems.
Services We Offer
1. Hormonal Consultations
Our board-certified doctors do careful check-ups to find and treat lots of hormone problems. These include issues with the thyroid (such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and thyroid nodules), diabetes (type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes), adrenal disorders, issues with the pituitary gland, and more. We ask about your health history, do a detailed check-up, and might order tests like blood tests or scans to figure out what's going on. Then, we make a plan that's just for you to treat your hormone issues.
2. Diagnostic Testing
To see how your hormones are doing and find any problems, we have special tests. These might include blood tests to check hormone levels, thyroid function tests (TFTs) to see how your thyroid is working, and imaging studies such as ultrasounds, MRIs, or CT scans. We also have tests to check how well your glands are working, like tests for your adrenal glands or special tests to see how your hormones change over time.
3. Treatment and Management
Once we know what's going on and what you need, we have different ways to help you feel better and balance your hormones. These may include medication management (such as thyroid hormone replacement therapy, insulin therapy for diabetes, or adrenal hormone replacement therapy), hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for menopause or andropause, lifestyle modifications (such as dietary changes, exercise, stress management, and sleep hygiene), and surgical interventions (such as thyroidectomy or adrenalectomy).
4. Nutritional Counseling
Eating right is really important for keeping your hormones in balance. Our registered dietitians work with patients to make special meal plans that help with hormone balance and make you feel better overall. We provide practical guidance on healthy eating habits, meal planning, portion control, nutrient supplementation, and dietary modifications to keep your hormones and metabolism healthy.​
5. Reproductive Endocrinology
For individuals facing fertility issues or reproductive disorders, we offer specialized care and support. Our reproductive endocrinologists do thorough check-ups, fertility tests, and treatments such as ovulation induction, intrauterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilization (IVF), egg freezing, and sperm banking.
