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 in a specific stage of life. The age, in which secondary sexual characteristics are checked, is 2-2.5 SD more than the standard population average age of puberty onset; the age is 14 for boys and 13 for girls, on average. A positive family history of delayed puberty is strongly associated with delayed puberty. The most common contributing symptom of delayed puberty is anosmia or hyposmia.[1]
