Occurring in 1 out of every 2500 girls, the syndrome manifests itself in a number of ways. There are characteristic physical abnormalities, such as short stature, swelling, broad chest, low hairline, low-set ears, and webbed necks. Girls with Turner syndrome typically experience gonadal dysfunction (non-working ovaries), which results in amenorrhea (absence of menstrual cycle) and sterility. Concurrent health concerns are also frequently present, including congenital heart disease, hypothyroidism (reduced hormonesecretion by the thyroid), diabetes, vision problems,hearing concerns, and many autoimmune diseases.Finally, a specific pattern of cognitive deficits is often observed, with particular difficulties in visuospatial, mathematical, and memory areas.
----so basically if you read that your saying holy s***t thats a lot to deal with, the truth is, it is hard to deal with but we do me and all my fellow Turner's sisters so fallow me on my journey.
love always,
