What Is Fragile X Syndrome?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
9. Treatment
There is no cure for the fragile X syndrome mutation, but medications exist to ameliorate many symptoms. For example, stimulants, antidepressants, and mood stabilizers lessen the severity of behavioral symptoms such as ADHD, irritability, mania, obsessive-compulsive behavior, and anxiety.
There also is no cure for FXPOI. Symptoms such as hot flashes and irregular periods are improved by regulating the amount of estrogen in the body with hormone replacement therapy. Women experiencing FXPOI-related fertility issues can try assisted reproductive technologies like in vitro fertilization.
