Delayed Puberty

Puberty is a natural milestone, but for some children it begins later than expected. When puberty hasn’t started by age 13 in girls or 14 in boys, it may be considered delayed. While every child develops at their own pace, delayed puberty can sometimes signal underlying health concerns such as hormonal imbalances, thyroid conditions, or genetic factors.

At The Endocrine Co, we start by listening carefully to your child’s story and evaluating their growth and development. Using tools like physical exams, lab testing, and imaging, we look for underlying causes while supporting both the medical and emotional aspects of delayed puberty. For some children, reassurance and close monitoring are enough. For others, safe and effective treatments — such as short-term hormone therapy — can help jump-start development and bring their growth back on track.

We know that waiting and wondering can be stressful for families. Our team provides clear answers and compassionate guidance every step of the way. With expert care and a personalized plan, your child can move forward with confidence and health.
