Ken K. Ho is an endocrinologist based in Darlinghurst, NSW, working at 384 Victoria St, Darlinghurst NSW 2010, Australia. Endocrinology is about hormones, and how they affect the whole body. When hormone levels are off, it can show up in energy, growth, weight, moods, and sexual health. Ken looks after people with hormone issues linked to the pituitary and nearby brain structures.
His patient work often includes problems with the pituitary gland and the brain areas that control hormone release. This can include pituitary tumours and related conditions like prolactinoma, acromegaly, and Cushing’s disease. At times, hormone problems can also connect to larger brain tumours, including craniopharyngioma and metastatic brain tumour. There are also cases involving hypothalamic or pituitary area issues, such as hypopituitarism and growth hormone deficiency (GHD).
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a big part of the care for many people. For those who have low hormone levels, treatment may help bring balance back over time. In some cases, the focus is on managing symptoms and supporting long-term health, not just one lab result.
Ken also sees men with hormone-related complications, including breast cancer in men, and supports care around hypogonadism. For people going through menopause, hormone factors can play a role, and the treatment plan needs to fit the person’s situation. There are also conditions linked to growth and development, including paediatric growth hormone deficiency.
Some diagnoses can be complex and need careful coordination. For example, conditions like Sheehan syndrome can happen after severe pregnancy-related bleeding, and it may affect hormone function long after the event. Other less common conditions seen in endocrinology include acromegaloid facial appearance syndromes and hypertrichosis-acromegaloid facial appearance syndrome.
Ken’s practice also involves advanced treatment planning, including Gamma Knife radiosurgery for suitable brain and pituitary-related problems. Along with medication and hormone management, this can be part of the overall approach when doctors are trying to control tumour growth and reduce hormone disruption.
Overall, the aim is steady, practical care for hormone conditions, whether the issue is a tumour, hormone deficiency, or a longer-term balance problem that needs ongoing support.
