Both men and women can be at risk of osteoporosis, osteoarthritis , rheumatoid arthritis etc It is important that their Vitamin D status and bone health is evaluated to prevent long term problems such as fractures and deformities that can have a great impact on their quality of life. Particularly women who have had a hysterectomy and their ovaries removed at a young age should be aware of their higher risk of developing osteoporosis. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) This is often known as ‘hormonal imbalance’. Patients who have irregular periods, excess body and facial hair and acne need to have a full hormonal work up to establish a correct diagnosis. Lifestyle changes and medical therapy when needed can help to relieve symptoms of PCOS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Menopause Every women has their own experience of menopause which is a natural stage in life. Occasionally, distress is caused by abnormal mood swings, severe hot flushes and vaginal dryness. This is when it’s very important that help is sought. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Erectile dysfunction (ED) ED is usually thought of as a taboo subject. ED is very common in patients with uncontrolled diabetes but can also herald testosterone deficiency which needs thorough investigations. About 30-40% of men who develop ED will have a heart attack within 3-5 years – ED is a marker of cardiovascular health and therefore should not be ignored. Erectile Dysfunction (ED) - 'The dark side' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thyroid disorders Expert advice would be given to patients with hypothyroidism , hyperthyroidism and thyroid nodules. Patients with thyroid cancer and their follow up is also done at the Curis Clinic. Un dérèglement de la tyroïde peut entrainer des conséquences graves -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pituitary disorders The pituitary gland is the ‘control tower’ of all the other glands in the body. The pituitary can malfunction for a number of reasons , most of which if diagnosed early, are fully treatable. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adrenal gland There are a number of issues that can arise in the adrenal gland. Young patients who develop hypertension need to have a full evaluation of their adrenals. There is also a craze for alternative medicine, ayurvedic and homeopathic cures – these can have a profound effect on the adrenal glands causing severe lethargy in the patient. It is imperative that all alternative treatment is discussed with a doctor before going forward. The best alternative medicine is wholesome nutritious food. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Endocrine surgery Advice would be given when endocrine surgery would be indicated in Mauritius.

This is a diagnostic and therapeutic science that looks at the patient holistically rather than focussing on one or two organs. A clinical history , examination and target investigations would help to reach a unifying diagnosis that enables targeted therapies. Internal Medicine is a fascinating branch of medicine. Common pathologies treated in the internal medicine branch are different kinds of anaemia, Vitamin deficiencies, autoimmune conditions, asthma, chest infections, cellulitis ( soft tissue infection of legs), urinary tract infections, meningitis, strokes etc Note that the same services are provided across all consultation sites.
