摘要
We review the main concerns related to the management of menstruation in adolescent females with developmental delay. Results from a questionnaire evaluating the current practice of menstrual control in developmentally delayed females by pediatric endocrinologists are also summarized. Guidelines for clinical care are provided, taking into account the specific health issues of this particular patient population.
