Causes of late puberty in boys
Later

By the usual way.
However, some diseases may be the cause of late pub ripening:
- Chromosomal anomalies, for example, clanfelter syndrome, in which an excess X-chromosome is present in the boy's genotype.
- Some genetic diseases are accompanied by a violation of the production of hormones, which also leads to a delay in sexual development.
- Development decline
gonadotropins (hormones determining the development of genital organs)
Because of the tumor damaging the brain area,
in which hypothalamus and pituitary.
- Chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, kidney disease and fibergation.
Diagnosis and treatment of late sexual development
In order to eliminate the chromosomal anomaly, the child takes blood on a chromosomal study.
Analysis
Blood allows you to identify diabetes mellitus, anemia and other diseases,
which may be the reason for the delay of puberty.
To determine the maturity of bones, a radiographic study of the brushes and wrists.
For
Detection of brain tumors conduct x-ray
Research, computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance
Tomography (MRI).
If the delay of sexual development is caused
chronic disease, then you need to cure a boy from him,
after which the tempo of maturation is completely coming back.
Genetic
Violations caused by late puberty,
Do not be treated. In some cases, it is possible to normalize the development of external
genital signs by replenishing missing hormones.
If the cause of the delay of sexual development has become a brain tumor, then a surgical operation is needed to remove it.
The treatment of this abnormality of development, depending on the cause of genetics, endocrinologists, oncologists, and T.D.
