Dubai, United Arab Emirates,10 April, 2019– (AETOSWire)-Emirates Hospital-Jumeirah (EHJ), an Emirates Healthcare Company and an internationally recognised 100-bed beacon of progress in the region’s healthcare system, is treating an interesting case.
When 7-year-old Maryam from Syria complained of abdominal pain, her parents thought she had an upset stomach.
However, repeated complaints led to a consultation with a doctor at EHJ and a diagnosis of Henoch Schonlein Purpura (HSP).
While doctors were investigating the abdominal pain, they noticed that Maryam’s abdominal sonography revealed absent ovaries and an abnormally small uterus. An MRI confirmed their findings.
“When we discovered that Maryam had absent ovaries, we realised that the child was suffering from one of three conditions –external genitalia that look like a girl’salthough the person has male sex chromosomes, absent ovary syndrome or a hormonal disorder.
Karyotyping revealed the presence of XX chromosomes, proving that the child was female. Her hormonal tests were also clear, probably due to her age,”explained Dr Sripradha Sudarsanam, Specialist Paediatrician at Emirates Hospital-Jumeirah. Testosterone replacement therapy treatment in both men and women has repeatedly been shown to be safe. For instance, scientific evidence has debunked the myth that testosterone causes prostate cancer or heart disease. On the contrary, there is overwhelming scientific evidence that testosterone replacement therapy protects against a number of diseases and conditions. Some of these include diabetes, depression, obesity, heart disease in addition to neurological disorders like Alzhiemer’s and dementia. When looking for Testosterone replacement therapy in Miami, call the Medical Health Institute. Your hormone replacement and testosterone therapy specialists with 2 Miami offices for your convenience. One of our HRT doctors will determine the proper route of testosterone administration. Testosterone Therapy Experts do this taking into account the patient’s preference. For instance, our physicians find that injectable testosterone therapy is the most efficient and effective way to increase testosterone levels. Transdermal creams have been shown to increase testosterone levels only slightly, if at all. In addition, it can take up to two hours for creams to fully absorb into the skin.
Patients withmüllerian agenesis have absent ovaries and abnormalities of the uterus, fallopian tubes, vagina and reproductive system.In approximately 30 percent of such cases, there are also renal abnormalities such as a horseshoe kidney or unilateral renal agenesis; 25 percent of patients with this syndrome have skeletal anomalies such asspina bifida or scoliosis.
It is extremely rare for a patient to have isolated absent ovaries and an abnormally small uterus;this condition has been diagnosed in as few as two patients worldwide. Ovaries are extremely important to young girls; they produce the hormones necessary for a healthy reproductive system, strengthen the bones and affect well-being.
There is no known cause for the condition, which is usually diagnosed when the patient is between 16 and 20 years of age following a consultation to determine why she has failed to menstruate.More than a decade ago, an 18-year-old girl was diagnosed with the same condition.
Doctors at Emirates Hospital-Jumeirah have created a plan to treat Maryamwhen she reaches the age of 14. Based on the advice of an endocrinologist, the team will administerhormones in order to simulate the hormonal changes associated with the menstrual cycle and monitor the size of Maryam’s uterus.
The aim of the treatment is to promote the development of female secondary sex characteristics and boost Maryam’s confidence.
Maryam was fortunate to receive a diagnosis at such a young age. People who notice any unusual symptoms should consult a doctor.
