    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive endocrinology
    • Adolescent gynecology

    Background:

    • Puberty involves complex hormonal shifts within the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis.
    • Disruptions during this critical maturation period can lead to menstrual irregularities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the importance of understanding pubertal hormonal events for diagnosing adolescent menstrual disorders.
    • To guide the selection of appropriate therapeutic strategies for these conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of the physiological events of puberty and hormonal feedback mechanisms.
    • Analysis of the impact of therapeutic interventions on the immature hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis.

    Main Results:

    • The hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis is highly sensitive to estrogen during adolescence.

  • Suppressive therapies, such as oral contraceptives, may impede normal maturation of cyclic activity.

    • Conclusions:

    • Accurate diagnosis of adolescent menstrual disorders relies on a deep understanding of pubertal endocrinology.
    • Therapeutic approaches should prioritize non-oral contraceptive options to ensure proper reproductive axis development.
