Results: 42 per cent of examined children have gynecological diseases. Intensive total index is 86.9+1.2; on the nosologic forms: disturbance of sexual development - 11.7, anomalies of development and structure of genital organs - 13.9, disturbances of menstrual cycle - 12.7 inflammatory diseases of genitals-28.0, neuroendocrine syndromes - 17.2, pathology of mammary glands - 3.6, tumors of ovaries - 0.3, cases per 100 patients (p>0.05). The structure of gynecological morbidity: the first place - 32.3 per cent - inflammatory processes; the second one - 19.8 per cent — neuroendocrine syndromes, the third — 15.9 per cent — anomalies of development and structure of genitals; the fourth — 14.7 per cent — disturbances of menstrual cycle; the fifth — 13.4 per cent — disturbances of sexual development; the sixth —3.6 per cent — mammary gland pathology; the seventh —0.3 per cent — follicular cysts of ovary. Inflammatory diseases of genitals take the leading place at the age of 7-12 years and neuroendocrine syndromes take the leading place at the age of 13 -15 years.
