Overview
Delayed puberty is almost always due to physiologic exaggerated prolongation of puberty timing; a condition called constitutional delay of growth and puberty (CDGP). Other forms of delayed puberty include hypergonadotropic hypogonadism, permanent hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, and functional hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.
Classification
- Delayed puberty may be classified according to etiology into 4 subtypes, including constitutional delay of growth and puberty (CDGP), hypergonadotropic hypogonadism, permanent hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, and functional hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.
- The most common subtype of delayed puberty, constitutional delay of growth and puberty (CDGP), has no pathological etiology and is completely physiologic.
- Other subtypes of delayed puberty are classified upon the serum levels of sex hormones and also gonadotropins.
- The complete classification of delayed puberty is as follows:[1]
| Delayed puberty classification | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| LH, FSH, and GnRH plasma level | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Normal | Abnormal | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Constitutional delay of growth and puberty (CDGP) | LH and FSH increased GnRH increased | LH and FSH decreased GnRH decreased | LH and FSH decreased GnRH decreased (transient) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hypergonadotropic hypogonadism (primary hypogonadism) | Permanent hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (secondary hypogonadism) | Transient hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (functional hypogonadism) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
