| Summary: | Aim. To assess the reproductive health of preterm- and full-term-born adolescent girls with a gestational age of 28-32 weeks. Materials and Methods. We recruited 100 consecutive full-term-born adolescent girls (15-16 years of age) and 29 preterm-born (gestational age of 28-32 weeks) and performed a clinical and gynecological examination. Results. We identied the parameters of physical development, menstrual function, pelvic size, and the main ultrasound parameters of the uterus and uterine appendages. Preterm-born adolescent girls more frequently had extended menstrual cycle, less pelvic, ovarian, and uterine size, less endometrial thickness, and longer cervix. Conclusion. Preterm birth affects the development of the reproductive system in the postnatal period and increases the risk of reproductive system disorders. |
