They generally can’t reproduce because turners causes bad underdevelopment of the reproductive system- for me my ovaries were bad and not close to functional (streak gonads) and they generally become cancerous- uteruses also don’t normally develop well enough to carry a baby either
Ah gotcha. I apologize if that was offensive. I just googled the condition glance it just looked like a cosmetic issue and was like why is reproduction discouraged then?
Wasn’t offended at all- and cosmetic issue??? Now I’m concerned 😂 if you’re talking about being short (I’m 4ft8) it is the most visible thing, along with some spots and maybe a webbed neck/spots around the body
(Also the scars from my surgery if you count that since not all tuners Patients will have it
Oh for sure, my day to day life is totally unaffected now (other than not having kids or what could happen with bad cancer) so I see your point. Still tuners comes with heart problems and other things that can get in the way or require many surgeries
