Growth Disorders

Growth disorders in pediatric endocrinology refer to conditions that affect a child's growth and development. These disorders can result in a child being significantly shorter or taller than average for their age. Common causes include hormonal imbalances, genetic factors, and chronic health issues. Doctors assess growth patterns and may perform tests to identify the cause. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial, as they can help manage the disorder and improve the child's growth potential, overall health, and quality of life.
