Children having
problem like in growth, puberty, diabetes or any other kinds of disorders
relating to hormones and glands which produce the hormones should visit a paediatric
endocrinologist.
For every child,
they should have correct levels of growth hormone. Endocrine glands and
pituitary glands release hormones into the bloodstream. Endocrinology deals
with the study of such glands and the hormones.

endocrinologists deal with different endocrine problems in children’s. They
deal with the growth and development related problems as they are important for
children healthy growth. They deal with hormonal disorders at the stage of
childhood to teen years.

also called as juvenile diabetes, which needs a visit to an endocrinologist.
Children with

use and distribution of glucose or sugar in our body, as our immune system
attacks the insulin producing cells.

endocrinologist will help you to learn how to administer insulin and to adjust
the dosage according to the body needs.
Other Gland Problems- kids facing other hormonal imbalance of glands which
may affect the bodies normal function need to meet an endocrinologist. Thyroid
