Everyone knows that when endocrine disorders occur, they can have a significant impact on physical health and daily life. Therefore, it is even more important to pay attention in daily life. It is also necessary to do a good endocrine examination, especially for infants, to understand whether hormone levels are normal, which is beneficial for their growth. So, how to do an endocrine examination for infants?
How to do endocrine examination for infants
Endocrine examination should be performed, mainly including blood routine, hormone secretion examination, progesterone, luteinizing hormone, etc. Doing these examination items can understand the child's physical health status and ensure that the baby can develop normally.
What tests should newborn babies undergo
1. Physical appearance examination
After a baby is born, doctors will start examining the baby's head to determine if there are any abnormalities in the baby's head and neck. This is because the baby is subjected to pressure from the birth canal during delivery, which can leave marks of pressure on the birth canal. Therefore, it is important to carefully confirm and determine if the baby's ears are normal.
2. Oral examination
After birth, babies need to undergo oral examinations, where doctors touch the child's mouth and observe if there are any abnormalities in the connection between the child's tongue and jaw. In addition, genital examination should not be ignored to see if there are any abnormalities in the reproductive organs. After completing these examinations, the doctor needs to examine the baby's internal organs and six viscera. Infants have a high rate of congenital heart disease, so this disease must be ruled out.
