Try Free Symptom QuizWhat is Turner Syndrome?
Instead of having 2 X chromosomes (XX), one X chromosome is partially or completely missing (XO). This occurs randomly and only in women. Some developmental abnormalities include short stature, ovarian failure and heart defects.
Typical Symptoms of Turner Syndrome
- Long intervals between periods e.g. 39 days or more
- Arm bending outward at elbow
- Abnormal menstrual cycles e.g. too early or too late
- Puffy hands, which when pressed form a depressed area for a few seconds only
- Late or incomplete puberty
- Sagging skin around the neck
- Shorter than other children of similar age
- Diagnosed with Scoliosis in the past
Diagnostic Questions for Turner Syndrome
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Is your menstrual cycle infrequent?
- Is your arm bending outward at the elbow?
- Do you have irregular periods?
- Does the swelling on the back of your hand bounce back immediately when pressed?
- Did you experience delayed or absent puberty, delayed development of sexual characteristics?
Treatment of Turner Syndrome
Girls with Turner syndrome receive hormone therapy to promote growth and development. Other treatments depend on the symptoms that occur. While there is no cure, with treatment it's possible to lead a normal life.
