| Popis: | The literature review is dedicated to the topical subject in current endocrinology and gynecology – clitoromegaly. At present, clitoromegaly is considered as a symptom of an endocrinological disease associated with impaired testosterone or androgen production. However, in most cases, the cause of the disease cannot be determined. A condition described in the clitoromegaly classification as an "idiopathic clitoromegaly" holds a leading place. Despite an opportunity to perform a successful clitoroplasty in childhood, adult patients with clitoromegaly quite often seek specialists` help. Such girls and women often suffer from anxietydepressive disorders related to social maladjustment associated due to sexological and psychological problems, which requires a sexologist or psychotherapist` supervision and treatment. Here, we provide the data on genetic syndromes accompanied by clitoromegaly. Differential diagnostics algorithms for neonates, young and adult women are proposed. |
