Paediatric Endocrinology
Paediatric Endocrinology treatment in Hebbal, Bangalore
The field of paediatric endocrinology is concerned with the endocrine system in children. Your child's hormones are created and controlled by the endocrine system. Everything in your child's body is controlled by hormones, from body temperature to mood to growth.
Endocrine glands produce hormones, including the pituitary, thyroid, ovaries, and adrenals. Various tissues and organs in the body receive these hormones through the bloodstream. Hormonal imbalances can cause bothersome and sometimes severe problems for your child.
Pancreatic, pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal disorders are the most common endocrine disorders. A hormonal imbalance or a tumour can cause these problems.
