CASE #1 Katherine is a 14 year old female who presents for a routine examination for sports. She has no complaints. Her past medical history and family history are unremarkable. On physical examination, you note that she has Tanner 3 breasts and Tanner 4 pubic hair.
QUESTIONS • What is your differential diagnosis? • Are Katherine’s physical findings normal? • How would you describe “Tanner 3” breast development? • How would you describe “Tanner 4” pubic hair development? • Has Katherine completed her growth spurt? • What actions would you take next?
PUBERTY • Physical changes associated with development • Sequence of change is similar for all adolescents • Variations in tempo and timing are common • Physical changes reflect underlying hormonal changes
GIRLS Breast Buds Pubic Hair Appears Growth Spurt Axillary Hair Pubic Hair Matures Breasts Mature Menarche (First Period) Adult Height BOYS Testicular enlargement Growth of penis/scrotum Appearance of pubic hair Axillary Hair First ejaculations Growth spurt Facial hair Adult Height SEQUENCE OF PUBERTY

QUESTIONS • From a psychosocial perspective, in what stage of adolescent development is Katherine? • What are some of the high risk behaviors that she is most likely to be at risk for in the near future? • What are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in Katherine’s age group? • What actions would you take next?

CASE # 3 Over the past 6 months, Marianne, a 15 year old girl in your practice, has missed 8 days of school because of severe, episodic lower abdominal pain that coincides with menses. Menarche was at age 13 and menses are regular. She states that she is not sexually active. Findings on physical exam are normal.
QUESTIONS • What is your differential diagnosis? • What will you look for on physical examination? • What actions would you take next?
Normal Menstruation • Normal menstruation is an indication that the hypothalamic--pituitary--ovarian--uterine axis is intact and responsive.
Physiology of Menses • FSH - stimulates the maturation of ovarian follicles - directs the conversion of androgens in the granulosa cells of the ovary to estrogens • LH - stimulates theca cells of the ovary to produce androgens - midcycle LH surge stimulates ovulation
Physiology of Menses • Estrogens- stimulate the proliferation of endometrial epithelial and stromal cells. Stimulate glandular formation. • Progesterone- produced by corpus luteum, causes the endometrium to function in a secretory manner, leading to increased blood vessel growth and tortuosity.
Normal Menstrual Cycles Follicular Phase Ovulatory Phase Luteal Phase
Follicular Phase • Endometrial proliferation under estrogen influence • Endometrial stroma becomes compact • Estrogen triggers midcycle LH surge • Cervical mucus is watery
