This could be a genetic condition called Turner's Syndrome. The ovaries are barely there -- called "streak gonads" and there is not normal hormone production. In Turner's syndrome, instead ofhaivng the normal 2 femal X chromosome,s there is only 1.

THe endocrinologist will probalby order a chromosome test to confirm the diagnosis
