Growth & Puberty Disorders
Supporting Healthy Growth and Development in Children & Adolescents
Growth and puberty are important milestones in every child’s life. When these processes are delayed, occur too early, or progress abnormally, it can affect not only physical development but also emotional well-being and confidence.
At Dr. Gayatri’s Diabetes Clinic, Zen Speciality Clinic, we specialize in identifying and treating growth and puberty disorders to ensure children and adolescents reach their full potential.
Common Growth & Puberty Disorders
Growth Disorders
When children grow significantly slower (or sometimes faster) than expected for their age.
Possible signs include:
- Short stature compared to peers
- Growth slower than expected each year
- Excessive height for age
- Delayed or abnormal growth spurts
Puberty Disorders
The most common form of diabetes, where the body either resists insulin or does not use it effectively. Often linked with obesity, family history, and lifestyle.
- Precocious Puberty: Puberty starting unusually early (before 8 in girls, 9 in boys)
- Delayed Puberty: Puberty not beginning at the expected age
- Abnormal Pubertal Progression: Irregular development of secondary sexual characteristics
Gestational Diabetes Treatment
A condition that develops during pregnancy and usually disappears after delivery, but increases future risk of Type 2 Diabetes.
- Requires careful monitoring for mother and baby.
- Controlled through diet, exercise, and medications if necessary.
