Abstract

This article examines the impact of autoimmune thyroiditis on the physical and sexual development of boys. The study analyzes growth patterns, sexual maturation stages, and hormonal profiles in patients diagnosed with autoimmune thyroiditis. Findings indicate that thyroid dysfunction may lead to delayed growth, alterations in puberty timing, and imbalances in sex hormone levels. Early diagnosis and appropriate management are essential to minimize developmental delays and ensure normal physical and sexual maturation. The article emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, including endocrinological evaluation, growth monitoring, and hormonal assessment, to optimize the management of boys with autoimmune thyroiditis.
