Popis: Objective: to reveal the specific features of somatic, reproductive, and mental health in adolescent girls with elevated dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) sulfate levels. One hundred and fifty-nine adolescent girls aged 15 to 18 years from Novosibirsk were examined. A set of studies encompassed clinical examination and examinations by a pediatrician and a gynecologist, abdominal and small pelvic ultrasounds, evaluation of the autonomic nervous system, determination of hormonal profiles, and psychological questionnaire survey. Every two girls had elevated DHEA sulfate levels. The girls with hyperandrogenism had most commonly somatic diseases, as well as psychological features, which require early diagnosis and differential clinical observation to reduce the risk of further reproductive dysfunction.
