    What is Pediatric Endocrinology?

    What is Pediatric Endocrinology

    What is Pediatric Endocrinology?

    Pediatric endocrinology is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of hormonal disorders (diseases related to the endocrine system) in children from birth through adolescence.
    The endocrine system is made up of several glands that secrete hormones. Hormones are the chemical signals poured by the glands into the blood and then carried by the blood to different target organs where they can perform regulatory body functions of growth, blood glucose metabolism, puberty, bone development, and maintenance of overall health.
    When the endocrine system is disrupted, children may experience issues such as growth delays, early or late puberty, thyroid imbalance, or diabetes.
    Pediatric endocrinologists are specially trained to understand these variations and provide treatments that support both physical and emotional development in growing children.

    When to See a Pediatric Endocrinologist?
