Overview
Effective measures for the secondary prevention of delayed puberty include timely clinical suspicion, suitable diagnosis, and hormone replacement therapy, in order to prevent osteoporosis and short adult height; and salpingo-oophorectomy in Turner syndrome, to prevent malignancy.
Secondary Prevention
- Effective measures for the secondary prevention of delayed puberty include:
- Timely clinical suspicion, suitable diagnosis, and hormone replacement therapy, in order to prevent osteoporosis and short adult height
- Salpingo-oophorectomy in Turner syndrome, to prevent malignancy
- It seems that delayed puberty can lead to lower bone mineral density (BMD) in adulthood.[1]
- Since the lower BMD is main risk factor for fracture, therefore untreated delayed puberty leads to more fracture rate.[2]
- Studies have shown that hormone therapy in boys, but not girls, with short stature and delayed puberty improves the adult height, proportionally.[3]
- Timely initiation of hormonal therapy can also prevent any psychological problems in children with delayed puberty.[4]
