Trusted Women’s Health Endocrinologists in Sydney
Hormonal health rebalanced
Why See a Women’s Health Endocrinologist?
Hormones play a powerful role in your energy, mood, metabolism, menstrual cycle and more — yet many women feel dismissed when they bring up symptoms like fatigue, weight changes or irregular periods. At Ponti, our women’s health endocrinologists take your symptoms seriously and treat you as a whole person, not just lab numbers.
An endocrinologist is a hormone specialist doctor who can diagnose and manage complex endocrine conditions that affect everything from fertility and thyroid health to insulin resistance and PCOS. At Ponti, our endocrinologists work collaboratively with GPs, physiotherapists, counsellors and dietitians to deliver care that’s personalised, compassionate and deeply informed.
What Can a Women’s Health Endocrinologist Help With?
Our Sydney-based women’s health endocrinologists provide expert care for a range of hormone-related conditions, including:
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Perimenopause and menopause-related hormone changes
Irregular or absent periods
Thyroid disorders (hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto’s)
Insulin resistance and pre-diabetes
Weight fluctuations and metabolic syndrome
Adrenal conditions (e.g. adrenal fatigue, Addison’s disease)
Hirsutism (excess hair growth) and acne due to hormone imbalance
Low energy, fatigue or mood changes related to hormones
Support with hormone therapy or medical management plans
Endocrinologist vs GP or Gynaecologist — Who Should I See?
A women’s health GP can manage many common hormonal concerns like contraception or mild PMS, and a gynaecologist focuses on reproductive organs and fertility. But when symptoms are more complex or resistant to treatment, an endocrinologist is the right specialist to assess your entire hormonal system in depth.
At Ponti, our team works collaboratively. So if you’re unsure where to start, we can guide you to the right care pathway. Your endocrinologist can also work closely with our GPs, psychologists, and nutrition team for truly integrated support.

That’s why our women’s health endocrinologists take the time to truly listen, investigate thoroughly, and care for you holistically. We're not just here for quick scripts or rushed check-ups. We're here for real conversations, collaborative care, and long-term wellbeing.
