Fertility Preservation in Post-Menarche Individuals with Turner Syndrome and Fertility Potential

For post-menarche individuals with Turner syndrome who retain fertility potential and have reached appropriate psychological maturity, a structured fertility preservation approach is recommended when the clinical setting supports it.

Clinical scenario

This protocol applies to post-menarche individuals with Turner syndrome who have identified fertility potential. Psychological maturity is a prerequisite, and management should take place at centres with sufficient expertise in Turner syndrome care alongside access to psychosocial support.

Treatment approach (partial overview)

The primary recommended approach involves a form of controlled ovarian stimulation combined with oocyte preservation — carried out under specialist supervision with appropriate psychosocial support in place.

The complete regimen, sequencing, and clinical decision criteria are available in the full structured protocol.
