Children may also have conditions, issues, or problems with the endocrine system in their body. A pediatric endocrinologist may see and treat a patient with a condition such as diabetes. Also, growth issues, enlarged glands, obesity, genital dysfunction, puberty complications, and other gland complications are all seen by a pediatric endocrinologist.
