Today, let's consider what the work of a pediatric endocrinologist consists of. An endocrinologist has an important role — he deals with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of pathologies of the glands of internal secretion. This field includes a wide range of conditions such as metabolic disorders, diabetes, stunting, rickets and many others.
All these diseases have a very negative impact on the quality of life, require timely diagnosis, very often close supervision and long-term treatment, and are incurable. Therefore, especially for a child who is in the stage of active growth, a visit to a pediatric endocrinologist is an important part of an annual examination to prevent a problem before it becomes urgent.
Consultation with an endocrinologist is desirable during puberty, when an assessment of sexual development, growth, weight, and thyroid gland status is required. In addition, if the family has patients with diabetes, thyroid disease, obesity and other endocrine disorders, constant monitoring is also necessary.
