Pituitary Gland Disorders

Pituitary gland disorders in children involve issues with the pituitary gland, a small organ at the brain's base that regulates hormone production. These disorders can lead to growth problems, hormone imbalances, or issues with puberty. Common conditions include growth hormone deficiency, where a child may be shorter than their peers, and conditions causing excessive hormone production. Treatment often involves hormone replacement or medications to restore balance. Early diagnosis and management are crucial to ensure healthy development and minimize long-term effects on growth and overall health.
