How do you know if you have turners syndrome because im 18 havent had my period and havent grown breasts?


After i posted a question earlier people told me that not growing or having your peroid after age 18 is not normal so that scared me alitte and i did research that tured up something called turners diease some of the side affects sounded like me but others were complete opposites i am so confused i just want to know whats wrong with me if anyone knows about turners syndrome please help

the only way to know for sure if you have Turner Syndrome (TS) is a blood test, so no matter what you are best seeing a doctor.
As you've already looked up TS you'll know some of the symptoms, but be aware not all TS girls have all the symptoms listed, most only have a few..one of the things almost all will have though is short stature. some with TS will develop breasts and have periods but most need medication to make that happen. Growth hormone injections are used to help with short stature...
you need to see a doctor though, it may just be you are a late developer and can get help to start thing off, but if it does turn out you have TS you need medical treatment anyway.

go to a doc!!!

instead of asking random ppl on the internet, you should be talking to your doctor about this.

Not having your period after 18 is not normal, you should talk to your doctor, he will be able to help you.

exatcly what the above has said,i dont mean to scare u but why are you asking on here....go and see a doctor.....its nothing to be embarrassed about!!!!

yea random people on the internet aren't always the best source for telling you whether you have a serious condition or if your completely fine. DEFINITELY go and see a doc right away.

Go to your doctor, and then check out this webpage. It's a document all about Turner's Syndrome. It lists symptoms, treatments, dangers, how to tell if you have it, and so on. Yes, it's long (44 pages), but if your really curious about it, you'll read all of it. I skimmed the most helpful information to make sure it was worth your time but here you go!

You can click on that link, and yes, it's a PDF file, it should just open so you don't have to save it or anything.
