FEATURES OF THE COURSE OF PUBERTY IN GIRLS WITH LOW BIRTH WEIGHT

Authors:

Abstract:

65 girls in the pubertal period, living in the conditions of the city of Baku and Nakhchivan, were examined. The average age of the girls was 16.35±0.06 years. All girls were born at term with low body weight. The average weight of a newborn was 2.245±25.98 (1900–2500 g). In girls born with low body weight, a delay in physical and sexual development. The study of hormones revealed statistically significantly low levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (3.0±0.21 mIU/ml), luteinizing hormone (2.3±0.12 mIU/ml), ftee triyodtironin (2.56±0.08 pg/ml), free thyroxine (1.3±0.02 ng/ml), estradiol (30.0±0.9 pg/ml) and high levels of prolactin (17.9±0.22 ng/ml), thyroid–stimulating hormone (2.96±0.19 mIU/ml), dehydroepiandesterone sulfate (4.28±0.19 pg/ml), total testosterone (1.21±0.11 ng/ml), which reflected the presence of clinical and diagnostic manifestations of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism in this contingent of girls which affects the reproductive health of girls in subsequent periods of life.
