Growth Disorders
Growth disorders group together various alterations in the physical development of children and adolescents, such as growth that is slower or faster than expected for the age. Detecting them in time allows proper monitoring of development.
Signs that draw attention: Height notably below or above what is expected, a growth rate that departs from the usual, or changes in development that cause concern in the family.
Factors that influence it: Hormonal, nutritional, genetic, and general health aspects can all play a part in how a child grows.
Which specialist treats them? The pediatrician monitors growth and, when a hormonal component is suspected, refers to the pediatric endocrinologist. If you notice that your child's development departs from what is expected, discussing it with a professional helps clarify doubts and provide appropriate support.
