Puberty that doesn’t happen at the right time for children is referred to as delayed puberty. This indicates that by the age of 12 for girls, and 14 for boys, a child’s physical signs of sexual maturity have not yet materialized.

In such cases of delayed puberty, secondary sexual traits like pubic hair, testicles, breast,s, and voice are not fully developed.

Some of the causes of delayed puberty are:

  • Chromosomal problems
  • Genetic disorder
  • Chronic illness
  • Pituitary gland tumors
  • Abnormal development of the reproductive system

  • Signs of delayed puberty include:
    For girls:
  • No breast growth by age 12
  • 5 years interval between breast growth and menstrual period
  • No menstruation by age 15

  • Common signs in boys include:
  • No testicular enlargement by age 14
  • No pubic hair by age 15
  • Takes more than 5 years to complete genital growth
  • Dr Kavya MBBS, MD, D.M (Endocrinology) will first conduct a thorough evaluation of your health history, as well as a few tests like blood tests, CT scans, and MRIs to diagnose your current condition.

    Once she considers all the factors, Dr Kavya will provide a treatment plan which is dependent on the cause of the problem. Usually, in most cases, once the cause is treated, puberty proceeds normally.

    In extreme cases, treatment is done via hormone therapy. This enhances the chances to develop secondary sexual characteristics.
