Delayed puberty: Update on Causes of delayed puberty, treatment, issues on pubertal induction protocols
Presentation posted on 3rd May 2023 given by Dr Richard Quinton of Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.
Although primarily aimed at health care professionals, mainly paediatricians this presentation can give useful information to patients with Kallmann syndrome / hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.
It highlights the protocols used to distinguish Kallmann syndrome / HH from self correcting delayed puberty and outlines the different treatment options available.
Identifying Kallmann syndrome / HH early from self correcting delayed puberty can help in the prompt diagnosis and treatment of patients, instead of them being told to “wait and see” or being incorrectly labelled as “late bloomers”.
