Overview

The hallmark of delayed puberty is lack of testicular enlargement in boys or breast development in girls at a specific age. Secondary sexual characteristics are checked in 2-2.5 standard deviation more than the average age of puberty onset in standard population, 14years for boys and 13years for girls. A positive family history of delayed puberty is frequently seen in delayed puberty. The most common symptom of delayed puberty is anosmia or hyposmia. Symptoms of underlying comorbidities are less common symptoms in delayed puberty.

History and Symptoms

History

Patients with delayed puberty may have a positive history of one or more of the following:[1]

Klinefelter's syndrome - via Wikimedia Commons[2]
Prader-Willi syndrome - via Wikimedia Commons[3]
CHARGE syndrome, ear abnormality - via Wikimedia Commons [4]

Common Symptoms

Common symptoms of delayed puberty are:

Less Common Symptoms

Less common symptoms of delayed puberty are the symptoms related to its underlying diseases, include:
