[Comparative study of the efficacy of different methods of treating patients with the Shereshevskii-Turner syndrome].

A comparative study of the effect of anabolic steroids and estrogens on the growth and sex development of patients with Shereshevskii-Turner syndrome (STS) was made for a choice of the most effective therapeutic modality. The use of anabolic steroids to stimulate the growth of patients with STS was shown to be ineffective. The most effective was the use of the combination of anabolic steroids and estrogens at low doses starting from the age of 11-13 resulting in satisfactory development of secondary characteristics without growth inhibition.
