What does a pediatric endocrinologist treat?

Hormone-related problems in children: growth and height concerns, early or late puberty, diabetes, thyroid, adrenal and pituitary disorders, obesity, and bone and vitamin D problems.

My child is shorter than classmates. When should I consult?

Consult if your child is much shorter than others of the same age, is growing slower than before, or is much shorter than expected from the parents' heights. Growth charts help decide whether tests are needed.

Can a pediatric endocrinologist help online?

Yes. Growth records, blood tests and bone-age X-rays can all be reviewed over video, and follow-up for thyroid or diabetes works well online.

What is early puberty?

Signs of puberty before 8 years in girls or 9 years in boys are considered early and should be checked by a pediatric endocrinologist.

Do you help children with type 1 diabetes?

Yes. The doctor can review sugar records and insulin doses, adjust the plan and guide families on managing sick days, school and food.

Can patients outside India consult?

Yes. Slot times are shown in your local time zone, and you can share reports from any laboratory.

Consult Pediatric Endocrinologists Online

Online pediatric endocrinologist consultation

Pediatric endocrinology covers hormone problems in children and teenagers – growth, puberty, thyroid, diabetes and more. At VRA Health you can consult a pediatric endocrinologist online, without travelling to the few cities where these super-specialists practise.

Much of this care depends on growth charts, blood tests and X-rays, so a video consultation is a practical way to get an expert opinion and regular follow-up.

Our pediatric endocrinologists

Both doctors are trained specifically in children's hormone disorders:

Dr. Saniya G. Aggarwal – DM Pediatric Endocrinology, PGIMER Chandigarh
Dr. Kishore Baske – ESPE (UK), Royal London Hospital

Conditions we help with

Short stature and slow growth
Early or delayed puberty
Type 1 diabetes in children, including insulin and sugar-monitoring advice
Thyroid problems, including congenital hypothyroidism found on newborn screening
Childhood obesity and its hormonal causes
Adrenal problems, including congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH)
Differences in sex development
Rickets, vitamin D and calcium problems

What an online consultation can and cannot do

It can: review growth measurements, blood tests and bone-age X-rays, explain the cause of a growth or puberty concern, start or adjust thyroid and insulin treatment, and plan further tests.

It cannot: examine your child physically, give growth-hormone injections or other treatments in person, or manage an emergency such as diabetic ketoacidosis.

How to prepare

Your child's height and weight measurements over time (and the parents' heights)
Blood test reports, including thyroid and hormone tests
Bone-age X-ray report if done
For diabetes: recent blood sugar log or sensor data, and insulin doses

Second opinions and patients outside India

Many families use VRA Health for a second opinion before a major decision, or to consult a pediatric endocrinologist they trust from abroad. You can share reports, scans and discharge summaries before the call, and the doctor will go through them with you in plain language. Medicines prescribed by a doctor in India may need a prescription from a local doctor before a pharmacy outside India will dispense them.

When to go to a hospital instead

Online consultations are not for emergencies. Go to a hospital at once if a child with diabetes has repeated vomiting, deep or fast breathing, drowsiness or confusion, a low sugar with fits or unconsciousness, or if a newborn is vomiting, not feeding and becoming drowsy. In India call 108 (ambulance) or go to the nearest hospital; abroad, call your local emergency number.
