SEXUAL DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN IN NORMAL AND PATHOLOGICAL CONDITIONS

Abstract

In the article, the authors show the features of sexual development and the state of the pituitary-gonadal system in children and adolescents in normal and pathological conditions. The pathophysiological mechanisms of delayed sexual development were disclosed based on the analysis of the literature. The authors emphasize the breadth and importance of the problem of sexual development in children with chronic lung diseases. An analysis of the data available in the literature on the factors influencing the violation of sexual development in chronic lung diseases in children shows that there is no consensus on this issue. Thus, the prevalence of disorders of sexual development in this pathology has not been sufficiently studied. A detailed study of the role of chronic respiratory diseases in the development of sexual disorders allows us to make the correct diagnosis and the right choice of treatment tactics.
