Rosemary L. Rushworth is an Endocrinologist based at 160 Oxford St, Darlinghurst, NSW 2010. She looks after people with hormone and gland problems. These can be hard to live with because hormones affect lots of everyday things, like energy levels, blood pressure, weight, mood and how your body handles stress.
In her clinic, Rosemary helps with issues involving the adrenal glands and the pituitary system. This can include Addison’s disease and secondary adrenal insufficiency, where the body doesn’t make enough important hormones. She also manages hormone replacement therapy when it’s needed, and supports people dealing with low blood pressure and low blood sugar. At times, the problem links to hormone making that isn’t working as it should from birth, such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and familial glucocorticoid deficiency.
Some patients see her after sudden, serious episodes too. This can include diabetic ketoacidosis, sepsis, and times when someone has high or low levels of key salts in the blood, like potassium or sodium. There are also conditions connected to adrenal or hormone production, such as adrenal cancer and rare enzyme related issues like cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase deficiency. Rosemary focuses on making sure hormone levels and body systems are brought back into a safer balance.
She also works with people who have pituitary and hypothalamic conditions. Examples include hypopituitarism, pituitary tumours and hypothalamic tumours. Some cases can come with big changes in hormone levels, and that means follow-up matters. Over time, plans may need adjusting as symptoms and test results shift.
Other backgrounds can include intersex variations and hormonal differences that show up early in life. Rosemary also looks after matters linked to undescended testicle where endocrine input is relevant, along with care for rarer conditions like Sheehan syndrome. She understands these topics can feel confronting, so the approach is calm and practical, with clear next steps.
