What is a pediatric endocrinologist?
A pediatric endocrinologist is a doctor who focuses on diagnosing and treating hormone-related issues in children. Hormones are released into the blood stream by endocrine glands to help different parts of the body communicate with each other. They act as chemical messengers that help control how we grow, how much energy we have, when we go through puberty, and even how our body handles stress. Hormone problems that affect children can be very different from those affecting adults. Therefore, a pediatric endocrinologist has completed special training to understand how hormones – and the glands that produce them – function at all stages of childhood into the teen years.
What are common endocrine disorders in children?
Children can have different types of endocrine disorders. One common disorder is type 1 or type 2 diabetes, where the body can’t properly use sugar, leading to blood sugar levels that get too high or too low. Another is growth disorders, where a child might grow much slower or faster than usual. Thyroid problems are also commonly treated by pediatric endocrinologists. The thyroid is a gland in the neck that controls how fast the body’s engines run. If it’s too active, it’s called hyperthyroidism; if it’s not active enough, it’s called hypothyroidism. Children can also have issues with puberty, either starting much earlier than expected, which is called precocious puberty, or much later, called delayed puberty.
What causes endocrine disorders?
Endocrine disorders can happen for different reasons. Some children inherit genes from their parents that make them more likely to have certain issues. Autoimmune diseases, where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, can also cause hormone problems. Infections, injuries, or tumors can damage the glands that produce hormones, leading to an imbalance. For example, a tumor in the pituitary gland, which controls many other glands in the body, can affect growth and development. Sometimes, doctors don’t know exactly what causes an endocrine disorder, but they can still help manage symptoms.
What are the signs of hormone imbalance in children?
Signs of hormone imbalance in children will vary depending on which hormones are affected. One common sign is unusual growth patterns, like growing too tall for their age or experiencing delayed growth. Other signs include:
- Skin changes like severe acne or very dry skin
- Sudden weight gain or weight loss
- Feeling tired all the time, even after getting enough sleep
- Drinking a lot of water and needing to go to the bathroom more often
- Sudden mood swings, such as becoming anxious or sad without a clear reason
How are endocrine disorders treated in children?
The treatment for endocrine disorders in children depends on what type of disorder they have. For many hormone problems, doctors prescribe hormone replacement therapy. This means giving the child medicine that helps balance the hormones in their body. For example, if a child’s thyroid isn’t making enough hormones, they might need to take thyroid hormone pills. In cases of type 1 diabetes, children might need insulin shots or other medications to help control their blood sugar. Sometimes, lifestyle changes, like eating a healthier diet or getting more exercise, can help manage endocrine disorders. In more serious cases, surgery may be needed to remove a tumor or repair a gland.

Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Pediatric Endocrinologist?
Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.
