The Process of Pubertal Induction in Girls with Turner Syndrome: From Patients’ and Family’s Perspective
The age to initiate puberty pharmacologically and the types of estrogen preparations used for this purpose varied across different age groups, however, with a tendency to mimic physiology and recommended protocols. The timing and mode of PI should aim to maximize intended effects, reduce risks of side effects and be simple to use. The aim should be to meet patients' expectations to ensure that they are not discouraged from taking long-term E-PRT.
