I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. It's not uncommon for girls and boys to develop as late as 13, 14 or 15. But if your child hasn't yet shown the signs of puberty by age 14 for girls or 15 for boys, delayed puberty could be to blame. Keep in mind that delayed puberty is nothing to be overly concerned about. Everyone develops differently. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
