10 Symptoms of Turner Syndrome

6. Infertility

One of the most consistent symptoms of Turner syndrome is infertility. Women with Turner syndrome cannot get pregnant without medical intervention, although it does happen on occasion. Females with Turner syndrome typically experience menstruation for a very abbreviated period, and many will never reach that developmental milestone at all. Consequently, most adults with Turner syndrome cannot have children on their own. Some couples can pursue in vitro fertilization treatment or other reproductive therapies, but this comes with an increased risk of life-threatening complications for both the mother and the fetus.
