A growth disorder isn’t always about slow growth; sometimes, children can grow too quickly for their age, leaving them towering over their peers.
Key Signs to Look For:
· Your child is significantly taller than peers the same age
· Rapid or early onset of secondary sexual characteristics
· Large hands and feet
· Joint pains or problems
Deciphering these signs can be complex, even overwhelming for families. That's where the role of seasoned pediatric endocrinologists like Dr Kent Reifschneider comes into the picture.
Pediatric endocrinologists are specialists in managing the challenges of growth disorders. They can help identify underlying causes, provide accurate diagnoses, and create effective treatment plans customized to your child’s needs.
