Puberty transforms a girl into a fertile woman, and its social importance is so great that any deviation from normality may be the cause of considerable embarrassment and anxiety. Delayed puberty in girls is defined as the absence of physical manifestations of puberty by the age of 13 years. Primary amenorrhoea is the absence of menarche and needs to be evaluated in the context of secondary sexual characteristics. Differential diagnoses can be classified according to the level of gonadotrophins. Differences in Sex Development and Complex Obstructed Mullerian Duct Anomalies should be investigated and managed in a specialist centre within a multidisciplinary team. Psychological support is essential. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
