Patient's question:
My daughter has inverted nipples and is slightly overweight. She wants to go to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Medical University, but I don't know which department to see. Do I need to make appointments with multiple departments, or can she just see the pediatric department for everything?Doctor's answer:
In this case, I suggest first scheduling an appointment with the endocrinology department for a thorough check-up. After additional tests, if further transfer to another department is needed, we can discuss it then~ There's no need to schedule appointments with two departments~ Of course, you could also choose to start with the pediatrics department for the check-up, which makes no significant difference. How severe is your daughter's obesity? Since inverted nipples may be related to severe obesity~ Pediatrics primarily treats common childhood illnesses. If the issue is obesity, it's best to directly schedule an appointment with the endocrinology department.
