Pediatric & Pubertal Endocrine Disorders
Hormonal disorders in children can affect growth, development, and long-term health. Dr. Sachin Pandit provides specialized care for pediatric endocrine conditions with accurate diagnosis and compassionate, family-centered management.
Short Stature
Short stature may result from hormonal issues, genetic factors, nutritional deficiencies, or chronic illnesses. Evaluation includes growth assessment, hormonal testing, and bone age analysis. Treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause and, when appropriate, growth hormone therapy.
Congenital Hypothyroidism
This condition occurs when a newborn’s thyroid gland does not function properly. Early detection and timely thyroid hormone replacement are essential to support normal brain development and growth.
Childhood Diabetes
Both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes can occur in children. Care includes insulin therapy, glucose monitoring, education for families, diet planning, and long-term support to ensure healthy growth and development.
Rickets
Rickets is caused by severe vitamin D or calcium deficiency, leading to weakened and deformed bones. Treatment includes supplementation, dietary guidance, and addressing underlying causes to ensure proper bone development.
Early Puberty (Precocious Puberty)
Early onset of puberty can affect physical and emotional development. Diagnosis includes hormonal evaluation and imaging. Treatment may involve medication to slow progression and support normal growth patterns.
Delayed Puberty
Delayed puberty may be related to hormonal imbalance, nutritional issues, chronic illness, or genetic factors. Management includes hormonal tests, addressing underlying conditions, and treatment to support normal development.
