Delayed Puberty Package

Puberty Test

A puberty test helps evaluate the hormones responsible for the development of puberty signs in boys and girls, such as FSH and LH, along with sex hormones based on the child’s gender, such as testosterone for boys and estradiol for girls.

Delayed puberty does not always mean there is a serious problem. It may be related to family history or natural variation in growth timing. However, testing helps the doctor rule out hormonal, nutritional, or gland-related causes.

Child Growth Test

Delayed puberty may sometimes be associated with slow growth or delayed height and weight development. That is why this package includes markers that support child growth testing, such as growth hormone, thyroid hormones, Vitamin D, calcium, and phosphate.

These tests do not replace the doctor’s assessment of height, weight, growth rate, family history, and nutrition, but they provide important data to help understand the possible cause of delayed growth or puberty.

What Does the Delayed Puberty Package Help Check?

Raha’s Delayed Puberty Package helps with:

• Detecting possible hormonal causes of delayed puberty.
• Evaluating puberty-related hormones in boys and girls.
• Checking markers related to physical growth.
• Assessing thyroid function, which may affect growth, energy, and activity.
• Detecting Vitamin D deficiency or calcium and phosphate imbalance.
• Helping the doctor create a suitable follow-up or treatment plan.
• Supporting early assessment before delayed intervention.

What Does the Package Include?

The package includes several tests that help doctors assess puberty and growth from different angles:

• FSH

FSH helps evaluate hormonal activity related to puberty and sex hormone production. The result is interpreted according to the child’s age, gender, and stage of development.

• LH

LH helps assess the hormonal signals responsible for the start and progression of puberty. It is one of the important tests when puberty signs are delayed.

• Prolactin

High prolactin may affect some puberty-related hormones. Testing it helps the doctor rule out one of the possible hormonal causes.

• Testosterone for Boys

Testosterone testing helps assess the main male hormone in boys, especially when signs such as voice change, body hair growth, or muscle development are delayed.

• Estradiol for Girls

Estradiol testing helps assess the female hormone related to puberty development in girls, such as breast development and the start of menstruation.

• Growth Hormone — GH

Growth hormone testing helps the doctor assess one of the factors related to child growth, especially when there is clearly slow height gain or delayed growth rate.

• Thyroid Hormones — TSH and Free T4

The thyroid gland affects growth, energy, weight, and general activity. TSH and Free T4 tests help detect thyroid disorders that may affect the child’s growth or puberty timing.

• Vitamin D

Vitamin D supports bone health and growth. Low Vitamin D may be linked to general weakness, bone pain, or bone health problems in children.

• Calcium and Phosphate

Calcium and phosphate are important for bone health and physical growth, especially during childhood and adolescence.

When May a Child Need the Delayed Puberty Package?

A doctor may recommend this package if the child has:

• Delayed puberty signs compared with age.
• Slow height growth.
• Short stature compared with peers.
• General weakness or delayed physical development.
• Weight or appetite changes.
• Family history of delayed puberty.
• Suspected thyroid disorder.
• Previous Vitamin D deficiency or bone health concerns.
• Need for hormonal assessment before planning follow-up.

Does the Delayed Puberty Package Require Fasting?
