Paediatric Endocrinology in Batumi

Paediatric endocrinology covers the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of hormonal and metabolic disorders during infancy, childhood and adolescence. The service pays particular attention to the child's growth, sexual development, thyroid function, body weight and the health of the skeletal system.

A paediatric endocrinologist's consultation is recommended when a child's height or weight does not correspond to the values expected for their age, when sexual maturation begins early or late, or when other symptoms associated with a hormonal disorder are present.

Diagnosis and monitoring

Where necessary, ultrasound, radiological and other instrumental investigations may be planned. The extent of the investigations is determined individually, in accordance with the child's age, clinical condition and the suspected diagnosis.

Our approach

The management of endocrine diseases in children requires long-term and consistent follow-up. During treatment, the child's height, weight, developmental progress, hormonal values and the results of the prescribed treatment are assessed regularly.

The treatment plan is drawn up taking into account the child's age, individual needs and the involvement of the family. Where necessary, the paediatric endocrinologist works together with the paediatrician, the gynaecologist, the geneticist and specialists in other fields.
