Symptoms of turner syndrome

  • Long intervals between periods e.g. 39 days or more

  • Abnormal menstrual cycles e.g. too early or too late

  • Shorter than other children of similar age

  • Late or incomplete puberty

  • Puffy hands, which when pressed form a depressed area for a few seconds only

Questions your doctor may ask to check for turner syndrome

  • Is your menstrual cycle infrequent e.g. longer than 39 days?

  • Do you have abnormal menstrual cycles e.g. too early or too late

  • Are (or were) you shorter than other children around your age?
