Growth Hormone Deficiency
Growth hormone deficiency is a condition in which the body does not produce enough of this hormone, which is responsible for regulating growth and various metabolic processes. It can appear in childhood or in adulthood, with different manifestations at each stage.
How it shows up: in children, a growth rate slower than expected for their age; in adults, changes in energy, body composition, and overall well-being.
When is an evaluation advisable? When a child grows noticeably less than their peers, a growth evaluation helps understand the reason.
Which specialist evaluates it? The endocrinologist and, in minors, the pediatric endocrinologist study hormonal function and development. If you are concerned about growth or hormonal balance, a professional evaluation clarifies the picture and the steps to follow.
