Growth And Puberty Disorders
-
We address growth issues caused by hormonal or structural abnormalities, including:
- Short stature: Evaluation of growth hormone deficiency, thyroid dysfunction, or genetic factors.
- Tall stature: Diagnosis and management of conditions like precocious puberty or Marfan syndrome.
- Growth hormone therapy: Safe and evidence-based treatments for children with growth hormone deficiency.
- Monitoring of growth patterns using advanced diagnostic tools like growth charts, bone age studies, and hormonal tests.
- Thorough evaluation of hormonal, genetic, or structural causes of delayed puberty.
- Treatment of conditions such as:
- Hypogonadism (low sex hormone production).
- Hypothyroidism and other endocrine-related delays.
- Kallmann syndrome or Turner syndrome.
-
- Diagnosis and treatment for early-onset puberty to prevent complications such as short adult height.
- Use of GnRH analogs to halt early puberty and normalize growth patterns.
- Evaluation for underlying conditions like adrenal tumors or central precocious puberty.
- Expert management of breast tissue enlargement in boys due to hormonal imbalances.
- Surgical correction by pediatric surgeons for persistent or severe cases.
- Collaboration with pediatric surgeons for treating anatomical abnormalities affecting growth and puberty, including:
- Congenital defects like undescended testes or ambiguous genitalia.
- Surgical removal of tumors or cysts affecting hormonal glands (pituitary, adrenal, or thyroid).
- Comprehensive diagnosis and management of intersex conditions or ambiguous genitalia.
- Collaborative care with endocrinologists and pediatric surgeons for:
- Hormonal therapy to correct imbalances.
- Reconstructive surgeries for genital anomalies, ensuring functional and psychological well-being.
- Diagnosis of syndromic causes of growth and puberty disorders, including Turner syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, or Prader-Willi syndrome.
FAQs on GROWTH AND PUBERTY DISORDERS
Growth disorders affect height and development. Signs include:
📌 Shorter or taller than peers
📌 Slow or rapid growth rate
📌 Delayed or early puberty
A pediatric endocrinologist can assess growth patterns and recommend treatment.
✅ Delayed puberty: Hormonal imbalances, genetic factors, chronic illnesses
✅ Early puberty: Excess hormones, brain abnormalities, obesity, genetic predisposition
A timely diagnosis can help manage these conditions effectively.
✔ Hormone tests (Growth hormone, thyroid, sex hormones)
✔ X-rays (Bone age assessment)
✔ Genetic and imaging tests (If needed)
Early detection ensures better treatment outcomes.
✅ Growth hormone therapy for growth delays
✅ Hormonal treatments to regulate puberty timing
✅ Nutritional & lifestyle guidance for optimal growth
