What Is Kallmann Syndrome?
10. Treatment
Kallmann syndrome is a condition that is largely treatable by way of replacing the missing hormones. This means replacing progesterone and estrogen in girls, and testosterone in boys. Additional hormone supplements will also be necessary if the patient wishes to start a family.
The patient may also need treatment for other symptoms that are caused by Kallmann syndrome. This can include surgery for a cleft palate, hearing and/or visual aids, and treatment for abnormalities of their organs. Treatment may also be necessary to help overcome any obesity problems the patient might have. One thing that cannot be cured by our current technology is the patient’s sense of smell.
