The endocrine system plays a vital role in your child’s growth, metabolism, and overall health. At Sowmya Children’s Hospital, our Pediatric Endocrinology Department specializes in diagnosing and treating hormone-related disorders in children. From growth issues to diabetes and thyroid conditions, our expert team is dedicated to providing comprehensive care tailored to your child’s needs.
What is Pediatric Endocrinology?
Pediatric endocrinology is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of hormone imbalances and endocrine system disorders in children. Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate critical functions such as growth, metabolism, and development. Pediatric endocrinologists are trained to address issues related to growth, puberty, thyroid function, diabetes, and more.
Conditions We Treat
Our team manages a wide range of endocrine disorders that affect children’s health, including:
- Diabetes: We provide expert care for Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, focusing on blood sugar management, insulin therapy, and lifestyle adjustments.
- Growth Disorders: If your child has slow or abnormal growth, we diagnose and treat conditions like growth hormone deficiency and constitutional growth delay.
- Thyroid Disorders: We treat conditions such as hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), ensuring that your child’s metabolism is functioning properly.
- Puberty Issues: We address concerns related to early or delayed puberty, helping manage hormonal changes during this critical developmental stage.
- Obesity: We work to manage childhood obesity through a combination of medical, nutritional, and lifestyle interventions.
- Adrenal Disorders: We provide care for adrenal insufficiency and other adrenal gland conditions that affect your child’s energy and stress response.
- Precocious Puberty: Managing cases where puberty begins too early, with treatments that help regulate hormone levels.
- Hyperinsulinism: We help control excessive insulin production that can lead to low blood sugar levels in children.
- Metabolic Disorders: We address conditions like lipid metabolism disorders, hypoglycemia, and other metabolic imbalances.
