Pubertal induction
Pubertal induction refers to medical interventions aimed at stimulating the onset of puberty in individuals who have not started developing secondary sexual characteristics naturally, often due to hormonal disorders or certain medical conditions. This process typically involves hormone therapy, where medications mimic the hormones that the body would normally produce during puberty. The goal is to promote physical changes, such as breast development in girls or increased muscle mass in boys, and to initiate the growth spurt associated with puberty. This approach helps individuals align their physical development with their chronological age and improves their overall well-being.
