We're supporting Children's Growth Awareness Week, which is taking place this week to raise awareness of child growth conditions. 

Different pituitary conditions can cause changes to your child's growth. Conditions like hypopituitarism and growth hormone deficiency can cause delayed growth, which may cause your child shorter than normal. On the other hand, conditions like acromegaly can cause increased growth.

If you are worried about your child's growth, it's important to speak to their GP.

You can find out more about pituitary conditions that can affect growth on our latest course.
