Investigation of delayed puberty
Clinical Endocrinology, 1995SummaryDelayed puberty is defined arbitrarily on the basis of statistical consideration, when no signs of puberty have occurred at 2.0 SD (13.4 years in girls and 13.8 in boys) above the mean chronological age for the onset of puberty. The vast majority of these patients have no endocrine abnormality and their pubertal development and growth spurt are ...

Delayed Puberty and Amenorrhea
Seminars in Reproductive Medicine, 2003The ability to diagnose and manage disorders that cause delayed puberty requires a thorough understanding of the physical and hormonal events of puberty. Wide variation exists within normal pubertal maturation, but most adolescent girls in the United States have begun to mature by the age of 13.

Delayed puberty is a frequently encountered problem causing much anxiety to patient and parents alike. Proper understanding of the normal pubertal events and its variation sets off the background to understand disorders leading to delayed puberty. An orderly clinical approach combined with continued observation helps to arrive at a final diagnosis in ...

Management of Puberty in Constitutional Delay of Growth and Puberty
Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2001Abstract Constitutional delay of growth and puberty (CDGP) is the most common presenting form of short stature, but no single test can infallibly discriminate CDGP and isolated hypogonado- trophic hypogonadism. Management of puberty in CDGP aims to optimise not only growth - maintaining body proportions and improving peak bone mass ...

Postgraduate Medicine, 1972
When delayed puberty is simply a normal variation in overall maturation, as it usually is, time alone will often solve the problem. Key factors in assessment are bone age and growth rate. Typical cases are summarized to illustrate the management of common problems. Hormonal treatment for simple delayed puberty is seldom necessary before 14 years of age

Since puberty is a long ongoing developmental process with significant individual and population differences in timing, the definition of delayed puberty for a given individual needs to rest on simple, though arbitrary criteria based on epidemiological data.

[Normal puberty and delayed puberty].
Revue medicale de Bruxelles, 2011Puberty includes important physical and growth changes, and takes place at a certain age range, leading to sexual maturation. Delayed puberty is defined clinically by the absence of breast development after the age of 13,5 in girls, or the absence of increase in testicular size after the age of 14 years in boys.
