Delayed Puberty

1. P

   Purpose, Prevention & Protection

   • I ask for a check if breast growth has not begun by 13 or my testicles have not grown by 14.
   • I ask for a check if my first period has not come by 15 or within 3 years of breast growth.
   • I tell my team if puberty started but then stopped, my growth slowed, or my weight fell.
   • I share family history of late puberty, long-term illness, medicines, changes in eating, and intense sports.
