Overview
There is no established criteria for the diagnosis of delayed puberty. Diagnosis is based on delayed breast development (thelarche) or testis enlargement.
Diagnostic Criteria
- The hallmark of delayed puberty is lack of testicular enlargement in boys or breast development in girls at a specific age. Secondary sexual characteristics are checked in 2-2.5 SD more than the average age of puberty onset in standard population, 14 for boys and 13 for girls. A positive family history of delayed puberty is frequently seen in delayed puberty. The most common symptom in delayed puberty is anosmia or hyposmia.[1]
