Qinghua H. Guo is an Endocrinologist based at Northfields Ave, Wollongong NSW 2522, Australia.
Hormones control a lot of what goes on in the body. When they’re out of balance, it can affect energy, weight, blood sugar, growth, sleep, mood and even blood pressure. Dr Guo looks after adults and children who have hormone-related health issues, often when things are confusing or don’t fit neatly into one simple diagnosis.
Many of the conditions seen in this practice involve the pituitary, adrenal glands, thyroid, and the way the body uses sugar. That can include problems like pituitary tumours, Cushing’s syndrome, adrenal gland adenomas, and adrenal cancer. At times, people also come in with things like thyroid eye disease or thyroid issues that affect how the body speeds up and slows down.
Blood sugar problems are another big part of the work. This includes Type 2 diabetes, low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia), diabetes insipidus, and insulin-related conditions. Dr Guo also manages metabolic hormone issues that can link with weight gain and metabolic syndrome, where more than one system is involved.
Some patients need help when fluid and salt balance is off. This can show up as low sodium levels or conditions like SIADH (syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion) and related hormone control problems.
Dr Guo also works with people who have rarer endocrine tumours and syndromes, including neuroendocrine tumours, pheochromocytoma, and conditions like MEN1 (multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1). There are also cases involving carcinoid-style hormone effects and hormone-producing growth patterns.
There’s a focus on careful assessment and follow-up, especially for long-term conditions that may need monitoring and adjustments over time. Managing these issues can take patience, and the aim is to help people understand what’s happening and what the next step looks like.
