We’ve all had a stomach ache now and then… but what if it’s something more?

Persistent, sharp, or unusual abdominal pain can signal issues like:
• Gallstones
• Hernias
• Appendicitis
• Bowel obstruction

If the pain doesn’t go away — or comes with nausea, bloating, fever, or changes in digestion — it’s time to get it checked out.

Dr Fathima Docrat offers expert assessment, a full range of diagnostic tools, and surgical care when needed — all with compassion and clarity.

Not all thyroid conditions require surgery, but in some cases, it’s the best next step.

Surgery may be recommended when:
• Nodules are large, growing, or causing symptoms
• There’s a suspicion or diagnosis of thyroid cancer
• Hyperthyroidism doesn’t respond to other treatments
• A goitre is causing pressure on the throat or windpipe

Every thyroid case is different. Getting the right diagnosis is where it starts.

Could Your Thyroid Be Affecting How You Feel?

This tiny gland in your neck has a big impact on your energy, mood, weight, and more.
When it’s not functioning properly, the symptoms can be easy to miss — but they matter.

Keep an eye out for:
• Persistent tiredness or low energy
• Sudden weight gain or loss
• Feeling cold or overheated
• Hair thinning or dry skin
• Irregular periods or fertility issues
• Anxiety, depression, or brain fog

Your thyroid is small but powerful — and worth paying attention to.
If you’re experiencing these symptoms, a consultation and simple blood test may provide answers.
