Abstract
Timely and full sexual maturity of child is a challenge for both endocrinologists and general practitioners. Unfortunately, not all parents are aware when children generally reach puberty, so one shouldn’t hope that delayed puberty would be a common cause for addressing a doctor. Moreover, parents do not always respond to doctor’s request to examine the child in case of deviation. But they should. Entry into puberty of boys younger than 9 years requires examination to exclude brain tumor. Delayed puberty may be a manifestation of hypogonadism. Without treatment patient is threatened by violations of growth, eunuchoid body proportions and impaired socialization.
