Consultation by gynecologist-endocrinologist

The health of a girl's reproductive system largely depends on the hormones produced by her thyroid gland, adrenal glands, ovaries, and adipose tissue. During puberty, the organs of the endocrine system, namely the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, begin to give "signals" to start the ovaries. At the same time in the ovaries processes of maturation of follicles start to occur, and the basic female hormones - estrogen and progesterone are made. Under the influence of estrogen, secondary sexual characteristics begin to form, the figure changes, the mammary glands, genitals, and pelvis increase. Progesterone is also called the hormone of "pregnancy", as under its action is the attachment of the fetus to the uterine wall, and its further development in the womb. The imbalance of sex hormones leads to changes in the menstrual cycle, the development of hormonal diseases, which are accompanied by unpleasant symptoms and affect the condition of women in general. That is why it is very important to consult a gynecologist-endocrinologist, especially during puberty. His competence includes the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the female reproductive system, aimed at normalizing and maintaining a properly functioning hormonal background.
