Annotation:

The paper presents information based on the analysis of modern literature on the peculiarities of adolescent girls' reproductive health. It shows the high frequency of inflammatory diseases of the external and internal genital organs, sexually transmitted infections, malignant gynecological neoplasms, and teenage pregnancy, which are factors that reduce reproductive health and adversely affect neonatal development. Particular attention is paid to menstrual disorders in adolescent girls, in particular, abnormal uterine bleeding. These pathologies are considered in terms of their impact on the somatic health of adolescent girls and their future reproductive potential. The problem of diagnosing abnormal uterine bleeding in adolescent girls is highlighted. Despite the significant number of scientific papers on the reproductive health of adolescent girls, it should be emphasized that there is limited research on the impact of various factors on the development of menstrual disorders and the diagnosis of abnormal uterine bleeding. This is a concern for medical professionals and society, which requires further research into the problem. It is also advisable to further study the pathogenetic links of abnormal uterine bleeding in puberty to improve the diagnostic and treatment process of patients, which will help to strengthen the reproductive health of the future generation.
