General practitioners manage well-controlled, stable conditions. Endocrinologists are called when the condition is complex, refractory, requires a definitive diagnosis, or involves the full hormonal system. These are the conditions that improve dramatically under specialist care.
Uncontrolled diabetes, insulin initiation, pump therapy, GLP-1 management, diabetic complications, Type 1 autoimmune workup, MODY. A GP can prescribe Metformin — an endocrinologist manages the full picture.
Hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves' disease, thyroid nodules (including FNAC), thyroid cancer management. TSH is a screening test — an endocrinologist interprets the full picture.
Low bone mineral density, fragility fractures, corticosteroid-induced osteoporosis, vitamin D disorders, calcium and PTH disorders. DEXA scan, assessment, and treatment planning — all under one specialist.
Polycystic ovarian syndrome, menstrual irregularities from hormonal causes, elevated androgens, insulin resistance in women, fertility assessment. Often mismanaged without an endocrinologist's hormonal workup.
Cushing's syndrome (excess cortisol), Addison's disease (adrenal insufficiency), phaeochromocytoma (adrenal tumour), hyperaldosteronism (primary). These require specific investigation protocols — an endocrinologist, not a GP, makes these diagnoses.
Prolactinoma, acromegaly (excess growth hormone), Cushing's disease (pituitary ACTH excess), pituitary adenoma, panhypopituitarism. Requires MRI pituitary, specialised hormone testing, and expert interpretation.
Metabolic obesity (high visceral fat, insulin resistance, dyslipidaemia), hormonal causes of weight gain (thyroid, cortisol, PCOS, low testosterone), GLP-1 and advanced pharmacotherapy for obesity.
Low testosterone in men, andropause (male menopause), hypogonadism workup, testosterone replacement therapy assessment. Extremely common in men over 55 and chronically under-diagnosed.
Primary hyperparathyroidism, hypercalcaemia (elevated calcium), hypoparathyroidism (post-thyroid surgery), and adult growth hormone deficiency. Requires PTH, calcium, phosphate, and specialised investigations.
Most CGHS beneficiaries are between 50 and 75. At this age, hormonal and metabolic conditions are the norm — not the exception.
Thyroid dysfunction — particularly hypothyroidism — is extremely common in women over 60. It causes fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, cognitive slowing, and worsens existing conditions. Most cases go undetected or are undertreated.
More than one in four urban Indians over 55 has Type 2 diabetes. Many are managing on GP prescriptions without specialist oversight — with HbA1c that has been poorly controlled for years. Specialist care under CGHS can change this.
Over 40% of postmenopausal women have osteoporosis or low bone density. A fragility fracture — from a fall that would not normally cause a fracture — is often the first sign. DEXA scan, covered under CGHS, identifies risk before a fracture occurs.
Low testosterone (hypogonadism) in men over 60 causes fatigue, reduced muscle mass, low libido, depression, and worsens metabolic syndrome. It is treatable. The hormonal workup is covered under CGHS.
Getting specialist endocrinology care under CGHS is not a luxury — it is your right as a CGHS beneficiary, and for most people over 55, it is a health necessity. Learn how to access CGHS specialist care →
