10+ Years of Clinical and Academic General Medicine
Dr. Wajhia Sultana is a Consultant Physician in General Medicine at Vivekananda Hospital, Begumpet, Hyderabad. She sees adult patients with diabetes, thyroid disorders, high blood pressure, anaemia, fevers, infections and other medical conditions that do not need surgery, and she is available in the morning OPD from Monday to Saturday.
She completed her MBBS at Gandhi Medical College, Hyderabad (Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences) and her MD in General Medicine at Deccan College of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad (Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences). She then completed postgraduate diploma programmes in Endocrinology and in Diabetology with the Royal College of Physicians, London, which form the basis of her interest in diabetes, thyroid and hormone-related conditions.
After her MD, she worked as a Senior Resident in General Medicine at Malla Reddy Institute of Medical Sciences and went on to teach as Assistant Professor at Malla Reddy Institute of Medical Sciences, Arundathi Institute of Medical Sciences, CMR Institute of Medical Sciences and Maheshwara Medical College & Hospital, where she later served as Associate Professor of General Medicine. Years of ward rounds and bedside teaching mean she is used to explaining a diagnosis clearly, to students and to patients alike.
Many women put off their own health check while caring for family, and conditions such as anaemia, thyroid disease, prediabetes and high blood pressure often surface late. Dr. Wajhia Sultana gives time to these concerns, including weight and sugar changes linked to PCOS, sugar follow-up after gestational diabetes and metabolic changes around menopause. Patients who prefer to consult a lady physician can book directly with her. She treats men and women alike, and coordinates with the gynaecology and other departments at Vivekananda Hospital when a joint plan is needed.
She has published three articles in international indexed journals, with research interests in general medicine, endocrinology and diabetology.

Symptoms That Need a Physician's Opinion
Hormone and metabolic problems usually build up slowly, and their early signs are easy to put down to stress, age or a busy routine. Dr. Wajhia Sultana advises getting checked when any of the following appear:
Seek Urgent Care
- Chest pain, fainting or sudden severe breathlessness
- Weakness of one side of the body, or difficulty speaking
- High fever with bleeding, rash, persistent vomiting or drowsiness
- Very high or very low sugar readings with confusion or sweating
Schedule a Consultation
- Constant tiredness, hair fall or breathlessness on climbing stairs
- Weight gain that does not match changes in diet
- Irregular periods with weight gain, acne or excess facial hair
- Increased thirst, frequent urination or slow-healing wounds
- Feeling unusually cold or hot, palpitations or a swelling in the neck
- Gestational diabetes in a past pregnancy with no sugar test since
Women with a family history of diabetes or thyroid disease, women who had gestational diabetes, and anyone with PCOS have a higher chance of developing type 2 diabetes later in life. A simple fasting sugar, HbA1c, TSH and haemoglobin test every year helps pick up these conditions years before complications start.
The same applies to men over 30 with a desk-bound routine, a waistline that keeps growing or a parent with diabetes or heart disease. Early treatment is usually simpler, cheaper and more effective than treatment started after complications appear.
