Why haven't I hit puberty when I'm 18?

I am 18, and still haven’t hit puberty. Is there something wrong with me?

Answer #1

One possibility that you may want to discuss with your physician would be delayed puberty. This is normally caused by a variety of hypothalamic, pituitary, and gonadal disorders that results in inadequate steroid secretion.

For questions as to treatment and prognosis - that would certainly depend on what is found during workup.

I would suggest a referral to an endocrinologist that can be arranged through your personal physician.

Followup with your personal physician is essential.

Good luck!
