What Is Pediatric Endocrinology?

Pediatric endocrinology is a branch of medicine that focuses on hormonal imbalances in children. Hormones control vital body functions — from height and weight gain to puberty, blood sugar regulation, and bone strength. When there’s an imbalance, it can lead to issues such as poor growth, early or delayed puberty, obesity, or diabetes. Identifying and managing these disorders early ensures healthy physical and emotional development.

When to Consult a Pediatric Endocrinologist

Parents should consider consulting if:

• Your child’s growth seems slower or faster than peers

• There are signs of early or delayed puberty

• Weight gain or obesity is difficult to manage

• There are thyroid, sugar, or hormonal issues in family history

• Your child has excessive tiredness, hair loss, or irregular periods
