What Is Turner Syndrome?
5. Symptoms In Children And Adults
As the patient gets older, other symptoms will become apparent. One of these symptoms is that patients with Turner syndrome are likely to be shorter than average. The patient may also not experience spurts of growth as is typical of children of a certain age. Other changes brought on by puberty may be delayed, or may not begin at all.
Patients with Turner syndrome can also find that their menstrual cycles will end earlier than usual. The patient will also likely be unable to conceive. Many patients with Turner syndrome are able to conceive with help from fertility treatment, however.
