Abstract

This article addresses the philosophical issues related to delayed pubertal development in adolescent girls. It explores the ethical, social, and anthropological dimensions of this medical problem and their influence on identity formation and quality of life. The study is based on materials from a dissertation focused on modern diagnostic and treatment methods for delayed pubertal development, and offers a philosophical reflection on these issues.
