Paediatric Endocrinologist :
A paediatric endocrinologist is an expert doctor who has the knowledge to treat hormonal problems in children. Paediatric endocrinologists can also treat issues in the glands and organs that cause hormone imbalances. The qualifications of these specialists include MBBS, MS in Paediatrics and a fellowship in paediatric endocrinology.
Some of the conditions that these specialists can provide relief from include thyroid disorders, diabetes, bone disorders, obesity and sexual development disorders. It is important to consult paediatric endocrinologists if a child is not growing as expected, especially during puberty. These specialists diagnose their patients with a combination of a medical history interview, physical exam and lab tests. The doctor may order both blood tests and imaging tests. In most cases, these specialists treat their patients with medications. However, the doctor may recommend exercise, radiation treatments, diet changes or counselling to help their patients.Found 4 Paediatric Endocrinologists in Vijayawada
