Peripheral: Exogenous source → ↑ estrogen
FSH/LH suppressed (low)

78
Q

What is the mean age of txt discontinuation for precocious puberty tx

lack of thelarche by 12 and no menses by 16

Constitutional Delay

80
Q

What are the two presentations of delayed puberty

A

Due to gonads:
1° hypogonadism:
-High FSH/LH (hypergonadotropic)

Due to hypothalamus-pituitary: 2° hypogonadism:
-Low/nml FSH/LH (hypogonadotropic)

81
Q

A

Primary (no prior menses):
