Late Puberty in Girls – When Should Parents Consult a Doctor?
Puberty starts at different ages in different girls. However, if there is no breast development by 13 years or periods have not started by 15 years, medical evaluation is recommended.
Possible causes include:
• Family tendency for delayed puberty
• Low body weight or poor nutrition
• Excessive exercise
• Thyroid or hormonal problems
• Ovarian or other medical conditions
Early evaluation helps identify whether the delay is a normal variation or whether treatment is needed.
