    GlossaryDelayed Puberty

    condition where puberty starts later than typical age norms

    Delayed Puberty, also known as Late Puberty or Pubertal Delay, refers to a condition where an individual's body does not begin the physical changes associated with puberty by the age at which it is typically expected. For girls, this is usually by age 13, and for boys, by age 14. Causes can range from genetic factors and chronic illnesses to hormonal imbalances and nutritional deficiencies. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to address any underlying issues and to support normal development.
