The review presents information on the syndrome of hyper-inhibition of gonadotropic function of the pituitary gland (HIGHFG) developing in patients against the background of a long (from a year or more) intake of combined oral contraceptives. This syndrome is presented in the form of secondary amenorrhea after drug withdrawal. Depending on the severity, moderate and full forms of the syndrome are separated. The pathogenesis of the development of HIGHFG, diagnostic criteria, clinical and laboratory predictors of the development, and preventive measures are considered.
