Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Puberty” by Dr . Wassan Nori, C.A.B.O.G.

This medical PowerPoint presentation is about puberty, the stage of development during which a childs body matures into an adult body, capable of sexual reproduction. It is a process that typically begins between the ages of 8 and 13 for girls, and 9 and 14 for boys, although the timing can vary widely from person to person.

During puberty, a number of physical changes take place, including growth spurts, the development of secondary sexual characteristics such as breast growth and the deepening of the voice, and the onset of menstruation in girls and the production of sperm in boys. Hormones, including testosterone and estrogen, play a key role in these changes.

Puberty can also be a time of emotional changes as children begin to navigate the transition from childhood to adulthood. It is important for parents, caregivers, and other adults to provide support and guidance during this period of rapid growth and change.

Slide 1-

Puberty Dr . Wassan nori C.A.B.O.G.
Slide 2-

Objective To define puberty To understand the physiology of puberty To know the normal sequence of puberty To understand the somatic changes associated with puberty To diagnose abnormal puberty ( history , examination and investigations) To treat precocious puberty.
Slide 3-

Definition: Normal physiologic transition from childhood to sexual and reproductive maturity. This leads to complex development of secondary sexual characteristics Involving the breast ,sexual hair and genitalia in addition to limited acceleration in body growth
Slide 4-

Physiology of puberty : During childhood, the Hypothalamic Pituitary Ovarian ( HPO )axis is suppressed and levels of GnRH, FSH and LH are very low. From the age of 8–9 years GnRH is secreted in pulsations of increasing amplitude and frequency
Slide 5-

puberty influenced by many factors including Race. Heredity. Body weight . Exercise. Leptin plays a permissive role in the onset of puberty. Nutritional status . Psychological factors .
Slide 6-

Physical(somatic) changes of puberty In sequence of appearance : Thelarche The growth spurt Pubarche Menarche Adrenarche
Slide 7-

Marshal & Tanner classify the stages of development into five stages: Stage1 Stage 2 Stage3 Stage 4 Stage 5

Precocious puberty Defined as the onset of puberty before the age of 8 years in a girl or 9 years in a boy. It is classified : Central precocious puberty Peripheral precocious puberty:
Slide 11-

Heterosexual and Isosexual: Isosexual precocious puberty: characteristics ( premature sexual maturation like premature thelarche ). Heterosexual (contrasexual ) precocious puberty : In this type patients may develop secondary sexual characteristics in opposite direction
Slide 12-

Causes of Heterosexual p p . It is most commonly caused by increased androgen secretion from the adrenal gland or the ovary , causes include : 1*congenital adrenal hyperplasia. 2*androgen secreting tumor from adrenal gland or ovary . 3*cushing syndrome 4*exposure to exogenous androgen . Treatment :is directed at correction of the underlying etiology .
Slide 13-

Causes of precocious puberty : * idiopathic *ovarian *organic brain disease *adrenal *exogenous estrogen or androgen exposure .
Slide 14-

Complications of precocious puberty : short stature due to premature closure of the epiphyseal plate as a result of sex steroids. psychological abnormalities like depression and schizophrenia .
Slide 15-

managment : Meticulous history and examination to detect any possible cause Investigations 1. serial bone age( wrist Xray is done) 2. magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) of the brain. 3. MRI , CT ,or ultrasonography of abdomen , pelvis or adrenal gland .
Slide 16-

investigation 4. assay of serum levels of FSH ,LH which are high in centrally mediated precocious puberty and low in ovarian tumours . 5.laparoscopy may be required for abdominal or pelvic tumours .
Slide 17-

Treatment : Treatment goals focus on preventing reduced final adult height and limiting the psychological effects of early pubertal development. Epiphyseal fusion is an estrogen-dependent process. 1. In centrally mediated precocious puberty after exclusion of intracranial tumours , the use of GnRH analogues to suppress the pituitary gland is justified until the age of 11.5 - 12 years when the natural onset of puberty occurs . 2. Treatment of ovarian or adrenal tumours. 3 .Psychological support .
Slide 18-

Delayed puberty : Puberty is considered delayed if no secondary sexual characteristics are noted by age 13 or if menses are still absent by age 16 .It affect 3 percent of aldoscents .
Slide 19-

Causes of delayed puberty : 1.constitutional delay is the most common 2.Chronic anovulation (polycystic ovarian syndrome ). 3. Anatomic. 4. Androgen insensitivity syndrome . 5. Hypergonadotrophic hypogonadsim 6.Hypogonadotrophic hypogonadisim
Slide 20-

Constitutional delay is the most common, it is a normal variation which is usually self correcting.. These adolescents present with lack of both secondary sexual characteristics and pubertal growth spurt by age 13 years. The probable cause is a delay in the reactivation of the GnRH pulse generator .
Slide 21-

Patients may be started on low-dose estrogen until puberty progresses, at which point estrogen may be discontinued. During low-dose estrogen treatment, it is not necessary to introduce progesterone withdrawal because in early puberty there is a similarly long period of unopposed estrogen prior to ovulatory cycles

Summary Puberty : Normal physiologic transition from childhood to sexual and reproductive maturity. Initial pubertal changes occur between 8 and 13 years Precocious puberty Delay puberty
