Examples of "prepubertal"
If it occurs in
prepubertal
girls, it may show up as abdominal swelling.
The vaginal mucosa in
prepubertal
children is markedly different from that of postpubertal adolescents; it is thin and red colored.
Prepubertal
hypertrichosis is a cutaneous condition characterized by increased hair growth, and is a relatively common finding in otherwise healthy infants and children, most often occurring in individuals of Mediterranean or South Asian descent.
Ovarian tissue cryopreservation can be performed on
prepubertal
girls at risk for premature ovarian failure, and this procedure is as feasible and safe as comparable operative procedures in children.
The gender identity or sexual preference (heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, or
prepubertal
) is not in doubt, but the individual wishes it were different because of associated psychological and behavioural disorders, and may seek treatment in order to change it. ()
Since LS in females is primarily found in women with a low estrogen state (
prepubertal
and postmenopausal women), hormonal influences were postulated. To date though, very little evidence has been found to support this theory.
Ego-dystonic sexual orientation () includes people who acknowledge that they have a sexual preference for
prepubertal
children, but wish to change it due to the associated psychological or behavioral problems (or both).
When periorbital dermatitis is found in otherwise healthy
prepubertal
children, with a profusion of grouped papules on the perioral, periocular, and perinasal areas, the condition is referred to as "Granulomatous perioral dermatitis".
The American Veterinary Medical Association issued a policy on Early-Age (
Prepubertal
) Spay/Neuter of Dogs and Cats in 1994. It was revised by the AVMA Executive Board April 1999 and April 2004 and now reads as follows:
The Vandenbergh effect is a phenomenon reported by J.G. Vandenbergh "et al." in 1975, in which an early induction of the first estrous cycle in
prepubertal
female mice occurs as a result of exposure to the pheromone-laden urine of a sexually mature (dominant) male mouse.
In cases of
prepubertal
LS, there is some evidence that patients can undergo remission of LS. In a cohort of 12 girls who followed up for 10 years until adolescence, 25% underwent complete remission. Unfortunately, 75% remained symptomatic and demonstrated physical signs of LS into adolescence.
At birth, the development of the
prepubertal
male reproductive system is completed. During the second trimester of pregnancy, testosterone secretion in the male declines so that at birth the testes are inactive. Gonadotropin secretion is low until the beginning of puberty.
Juvenile absence epilepsy is an idiopathic generalized epilepsy with later onset than CAE, typically in
prepubertal
adolescence, with the most frequent seizure type being absence seizures. Generalized tonic-clonic seizures can occur. Often, 3 Hz spike-wave or multiple spike discharges can be seen on EEG. The prognosis is mixed, with some patients going on to a syndrome that is poorly distinguishable from JME.
Rubella infections are prevented by active immunisation programs using live, disabled virus vaccines. Two live attenuated virus vaccines, RA 27/3 and Cendehill strains, were effective in the prevention of adult disease. However their use in
prepubertal
females did not produce a significant fall in the overall incidence rate of CRS in the UK. Reductions were only achieved by immunisation of all children.
First, when pubic hair appears at an unusually early age in a child, premature adrenarche should be distinguished from true central precocious puberty, from congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and from androgen-producing tumors of the adrenals or gonads. Pediatric endocrinologists do this by demonstrating advanced levels of DHEAS and other adrenal androgens, with
prepubertal
levels of gonadotropins and gonadal sex steroids.
The beads are compared with the testicles of the patient, and the volume is read off the bead which matches most closely in size.
Prepubertal
sizes are 1–3 ml, pubertal sizes are considered 4 ml and up and adult sizes are 12–25 ml.
CAIS can only be diagnosed in normal phenotypic females. It is not usually suspected unless the menses fail to develop at puberty, or an inguinal hernia presents during premenarche. As many as 1–2% of
prepubertal
girls that present with an inguinal hernia will also have CAIS.
The Endocrine Society does not recommend endocrine treatment of
prepubertal
children because clinical experience suggests that GID can be reliably assessed only after the first signs of puberty. It recommends treating transsexual adolescents by suppressing puberty with puberty blockers until age 16 years old, after which cross-sex hormones may be given.
Cryopreservation of ovarian tissue is of interest to women who want fertility preservation beyond the natural limit, or whose reproductive potential is threatened by cancer therapy, for example in hematologic malignancies or breast cancer. It can be performed on
prepubertal
girls at risk for premature ovarian failure, and this procedure is as feasible and safe as comparable operative procedures in children.
Infertility observed in adult males with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) has been associated with testicular adrenal rest tumors (TART) that may originate during childhood. TART in
prepubertal
males with classic CAH could be found during childhood (20%). Martinez-Aguayo et al. reported differences in markers of gonadal function in a subgroup of patients, especially in those with inadequate control.
