What Is Turner Syndrome?
10. Treatment
Treatment of Turner syndrome will depend largely on the patient’s symptoms and their severity. Most girls with the condition are given growth hormones to help them develop as well as possible. Estrogen therapy will also likely be prescribed in most cases to help ensure the patient enters into puberty and develops sexually.
The patient may also need treatment for heart problems, including medication to help keep their blood pressure down within safe levels. Treatment for UTIs and other kidney issues may also be needed, while any skeletal issues will also need to be addressed. The patient will also need to have regular check-ups.
