Growth can be positively influenced by growth-hormone therapy. In Belgium, this treatment is fully reimbursed by the social security (RIZIV). The treatment is usually started around the age of 6. Nowadays, with this treatment, an average final height of 150 cm or more can be achieved, if the treatment is started early.
Puberty is mostly induced by oestrogen replacement therapy. This way a normal female appearance can be obtained.
Young women with Turner-syndrome can fulfill their wish to have children by means of adoption or foster parenting. A medically assisted pregnancy with egg-cell donation is also one of the possibilities.
