A child's health is a priority for every parent. However, sometimes worrying signs appear, such as growth failure, sudden weight changes, or blood sugar problems. In such situations, a quick and accurate diagnosis is crucial. Since May, specialist assistance in this area has been available at the NZOZ Your Doctor clinic in Kiełczów.
Specialized care for the youngest
Karolina Kuls, MD, PhD, a specialist in pediatrics, pediatric endocrinology, and pediatric diabetology, has joined the team. She specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of hormonal disorders and carbohydrate metabolism disorders in children and adolescents.
Services are provided as part of Coordinated Care at Primary Healthcare. This represents a comprehensive approach to patient health, encompassing diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of therapy outcomes. Those not covered by the Coordinated Care program can benefit from commercial visits.
When should you consult an endocrinologist or pediatric diabetologist?
Hormonal and metabolic problems can develop gradually and remain undetected for a long time. It's worth paying attention to signs such as:
- abnormal growth, either too low or too fast
- excessive weight gain or difficulty maintaining weight
- chronic fatigue and weakness
- excessive thirst and frequent urination
- puberty disorders
- disturbing laboratory test results
- Why should you not ignore the symptoms?
The endocrine system plays a crucial role in a child's development. Left untreated, disorders can impact growth, maturation, and overall body function. Early diagnosis allows for appropriate treatment and reduces the risk of more serious health consequences.
What does diagnosis and treatment look like?
During the visit, the specialist conducts a thorough interview and assesses the child's development. Depending on the needs, they may order laboratory or imaging tests, including ultrasound. Based on this, an individualized treatment plan is selected.
