Síndrome de Turner - Treatment

Nombres alternativos

Síndrome de Bonnevie-Ullrich; Disgenesia gonadal; Monosomía X

Tratamiento:

La hormona del crecimiento puede ayudar a una niña con síndrome de Turner a incrementar su estatura. La terapia con reemplazo de estrógenos con frecuencia se inicia cuando la niña tiene 12 ó 13 años de edad y ayuda a estimular el crecimiento de las mamas, del vello púbico y otras características sexuales.

Las mujeres con este síndrome que deseen quedar en embarazo pueden pensar en la utilización de un óvulo de donante.
