Reproductive Endocrinology
Reproductive hormones play a fundamental role in fertility, physical wellbeing, and quality of life. Dr Humayun provides specialist diagnosis and management of hormonal conditions affecting both women and men, with a personalised, evidence-based approach.
Reproductive & Hormonal Conditions
Expert evaluation and management of the hormonal conditions that affect reproductive health, fertility, and overall wellbeing.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
PCOS is one of the most common endocrine disorders in women of reproductive age, affecting up to 10% of the population. It is characterised by a combination of hormonal imbalances, irregular periods, and metabolic dysfunction. Dr Humayun takes a comprehensive approach, addressing the hormonal, metabolic, and reproductive aspects of PCOS to improve both symptoms and long-term health outcomes.
- Thorough hormonal profiling including androgens, insulin, and metabolic markers
- Personalised treatment plans for irregular periods and ovulation
- Management of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome
- Strategies for acne, hair loss, and excess hair growth
- Fertility support and pre-conception counselling
Hirsutism
Hirsutism refers to excessive hair growth in women in a male-pattern distribution — commonly affecting the face, chest, back, and abdomen. It is usually driven by elevated androgens and is frequently associated with PCOS, though other endocrine causes must be carefully excluded. Dr Humayun provides thorough investigation and effective, tailored treatment options.
- Comprehensive androgen and hormonal evaluation
- Exclusion of adrenal and ovarian causes of hyperandrogenism
- Pharmacological management with anti-androgen therapies
- Guidance on cosmetic treatments and combined approach strategies
Male Hypogonadism
Male hypogonadism occurs when the testes do not produce sufficient testosterone, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, low libido, reduced muscle mass, mood disturbance, and impaired fertility. Causes can be primary (testicular) or secondary (pituitary/hypothalamic). Dr Humayun offers specialist evaluation and evidence-based testosterone replacement where appropriate.
- Detailed hormonal assessment including testosterone, LH, FSH, and prolactin
- Investigation of underlying causes including pituitary imaging
- Testosterone replacement therapy with ongoing safety monitoring
- Fertility preservation counselling and gonadotrophin therapy options
Menstrual Disorders
Irregular, absent, or heavy menstrual periods are frequently driven by underlying endocrine conditions including thyroid dysfunction, hyperprolactinaemia, PCOS, and hypothalamic amenorrhoea. A thorough hormonal investigation is essential to identify the root cause and guide effective treatment. Dr Humayun works collaboratively with gynaecologists to deliver comprehensive care.
- Full endocrine evaluation including thyroid, prolactin, and reproductive hormones
- Assessment for hypothalamic amenorrhoea and premature ovarian insufficiency
- Hormonal treatment to restore regular menstrual cycles
- Collaborative management with gynaecology and fertility specialists
