How far do I investigate chronic fatigue?

Mukherjee Annice

Chronic fatigue presenting in the endocrine clinic is often intangible and difficult to assess. From the patients perspective fatigue is very disruptive to quality of life, exacerbates health related anxiety and can trigger functional symptoms. Patients with symptoms of chronic fatigue frequently have multiple contributory components to their symptoms, including endocrine, behavioural, and other medical factors. Investigation and management approaches will depend on whether th...

How do I manage hirsutism?

Barber Thomas M

Hirsutism is one of the most common clinical features encountered in women attending endocrine clinics. It can also be extraordinarily difficult and challenging to manage well. In this brief presentation I will discuss management of hirsutism, using three major challenges as a scaffold:Challenge 1: diagnosing the underlying cause: Hirsutism, the presence of terminal hairs distributed in a male-like pattern in women, affects between 5 and 10% of women. Po...

Managing hormone replacement therapy in the learning disabled young adult: a personal practice

Spoudeas Helen

Teenagers and young adult survivors of congenital and acquired brain injury caused by developmental defects (e.g. septooptic dysplasias), brain tumours and their treatment, or intracerebral and systemic disease (e.g. histiocytoses and meningitis), are often both learning disabled and requiring lifesaving (cortisol and desmopressin) and life-enhancing (sex steroid, thyroxine, and growth) hormone replacement due to panhypopituitarism.Managing the parental ...

How do I manage men who have used anabolic steroids?

Toogood Andrew

Anabolic agents are used to enhance performance through their effects on muscle mass, strength, and stamina. The prevalence of anabolic steroid use is difficult to quantify amongst the general population, but estimates derived from anonymous questionnaire studies in various populations suggest use may be common. Up to 4% of 18 years old American males have reported use at least once. Reported use of these agents rises significantly amongst army recruits and further still in el...
