Most of the problems of the female reproductive system in fertile age are a direct consequence of those pathologies that have arisen in puberty age, in the period of the establishment of its functions. Therefore, the formation of the normal physical and sexual development of adolescent girls depends on the formation of reproductive capacity, the improvement of the demographic situation and the health of future generations. The aim of the study — detection of the relationship between the features of sexual development in healthy and girls with primary dysmenorrhea of puberty age. The results of researches of 306 girls of puberty age of different somatotypes are analyzed, defined by the Hit-Carter method. Statistical processing of the results obtained was carried out in a licensed package “Statistica 6.1”. The study group included 76 girls with primary dysmenorrhea, and the control group consisted of 230 healthy girls (data were taken from the database of the SRC National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya). We investigated the peculiarities of the development of the reproductive system of girls of pubertal age with primary dysmenorrhea of different somatotypes. The results of our research show that there is a connection between the age-depending dynamics of sexual development: the thelarche, axillary hair growth, the formation of menstrual function in girls of pubertal age who suffer from primary dysmenorrhea in comparison with healthy girls. The results of our study should be taken for the diagnosing of primary dysmenorrhea of girls of pubertal age in order to reduce clinical manifestations and further development of complications in reproductive age.
