Megan L. Gow is an endocrinologist based in Westmead, NSW. Her clinic is located on Corner Hawkesbury Road and Hainsworth Street, Westmead, NSW 2145.
Endocrinology is about hormones and how they affect the whole body. In her work, Megan looks after people with hormone-related health issues, from day to day concerns through to longer-term conditions that need steady care. At times this can feel complex, so she focuses on clear, practical next steps.
Many patients see her for diabetes care. This can include type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). She also supports people managing metabolic syndrome, where weight, blood sugar, and other body systems can affect each other.
Obesity is another key part of her practice. She works with both adults and children, and understands that weight and health can be tied up with family routines, eating patterns, and stress. In many cases, treatment is about finding a plan that’s realistic, not a quick fix.
Some people come in with issues around blood pressure. This includes high blood pressure in infants, and also ongoing hypertension. She also manages concerns that can happen during pregnancy, such as preeclampsia, as well as longer follow-up for metabolic changes after having a baby, including postpartum depression.
She also cares for rarer hormone and nerve-related problems, depending on what fits the person’s situation. This can include congenital hyperinsulinism, where the body makes too much insulin. At times patients may also be dealing with autonomic neuropathy, which can affect how the body controls things like heart rate and blood pressure. Sleepiness and drowsiness, including narcolepsy, can also be part of the picture for some patients.
Growth and pregnancy health come up too. For example, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is something she helps manage, along with the wider hormone side of care that can matter during pregnancy and early life.
Overall, Megan’s role is to help people understand what’s going on with their hormones, and to put a steady plan in place that supports safer, healthier outcomes over time.
