Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Pediatrics
  • Human Physiology

Background:

  • Puberty is a critical phase of physical development characterized by hormonal shifts.
  • Understanding normal pubertal progression is essential for identifying deviations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the hormonal underpinnings of normal pubertal physical development.
  • To summarize the etiologies of delayed puberty.
  • To propose a diagnostic and management strategy for delayed puberty.

Main Methods:

  • Review of physiological changes during puberty.
  • Analysis of hormonal secretion patterns.
  • Compilation of causes for delayed puberty.
  • Development of an investigative and therapeutic protocol.

Main Results:

  • Detailed description of physical development stages linked to specific hormone secretion patterns.
  • Categorization of delayed puberty causes, including hormonal and genetic factors.
  • A structured protocol for the systematic investigation of delayed puberty.

Conclusions:

  • Normal puberty is regulated by predictable hormonal changes.
  • Delayed puberty has diverse causes requiring a systematic approach.
  • The proposed protocol facilitates accurate diagnosis and effective management of delayed puberty.
