Turner syndrome is a congenital chromosomal disorder caused by sex chromosome aberrations. Turner syndrome only affects girls and women. Symptoms include short stature, gonadal dysfunction, amenorrhea and infertility. Patients often have congenital heart disease, hypothyroidism, vision and hearing problems, as well as cognitive issues such as difficulty learning mathematics and memory issues. No treatment can promote ovarian development and restore reproductive function. The purpose of treatment is to increase the height and stimulate the growth and development of breasts and sex organs.
