Pediatric endocrinology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of hormonal disorders in children. These disorders can affect growth, puberty, metabolism, and other bodily functions that are controlled by hormones. Pediatric endocrinologists are specially trained to care for infants, children, and adolescents with conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, growth disorders, and disorders of sexual development. Treatment may involve medications, hormone supplementation, lifestyle changes, and ongoing monitoring to ensure optimal growth and development.
