A child's hormones influence growth, puberty, metabolism, bone health and overall development. Early recognition of hormonal disorders can make a lifelong difference.
Why growth deserves attention
Poor growth may be an early sign of an underlying hormonal condition. Regular monitoring of height and weight is one of the simplest ways to detect growth problems early — and most hormonal disorders can be managed effectively when diagnosed in time.
What we watch for
- Short stature, or a child slowing down on their growth chart
- Early or delayed puberty, which should always be evaluated
- Childhood obesity, which increases the risk of diabetes and other problems
- Type 1 diabetes, which can occur at any age in childhood and needs lifelong care
- Thyroid, vitamin D, calcium, adrenal and pituitary concerns
When to seek an evaluation
If you're concerned about your child's height, weight, puberty or diabetes, a timely evaluation is the first step toward healthier growth. Early diagnosis leads to better growth, healthier development and brighter futures.
Healthy growth. Healthy hormones. Healthy future.
