Patient's question:
I had the examination done at the hospital, but the doctor just prescribed medicine. I don't quite understand what that means.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello: Congenital hypoplasia of the ovary, also known as Turner's (Turer) syndrome, involves problems with the sex chromosomes, leading to slow physical development initially.Advice: Most children with this syndrome have normal intellectual development. Therefore, improving their final adult height and sexual development is a crucial measure to ensure their mental health. After a clear diagnosis, recombinant human growth hormone can be used, administered subcutaneously at a dose of 0.15 U/kg daily, which can significantly increase the child's height. During treatment, regular monitoring of thyroid function and bone age development should be conducted. When the child's bone age reaches 12 years or older, oral low-dose estrogen therapy can be initiated to promote breast and external genital development.
