The physiological characteristics of puberty in girls whose mothers experienced a high risk of terrorist threat

Abstract

The physiological characteristics of sexual development in girls in the Republic of Dagestan mothers, in before pregnancy period experienced a high risk of a terrorist threat were analyzed. It was revealed that in the prepubescent period, in girls, the offspring of mothers emerging from the vital stress concentration of luteinizing and follicle-stimulating hormone in peripheral blood was significantly higher than girls in the control group. Also a characteristic of prepubescent girls whose mothers experienced a vital stress is an early decrease in the activity of the adrenal cortex in the transition from prepuberty to puberty. While menarche in girls 10–12 years old, whose mothers have experienced the vital stress occurred significantly more often than in controls. Anthropometric data, height and body weight, evidence of earlier maturation of girls of the main group up to 12 years. The formation of breast and pubic hair in the prepubertal period in girls of the main group of girls in the control group. So girl’s mother, who survived the vital stress under the influence of high risk of terrorist threat, was characterized by an earlier and at the same time disharmonious puberty. They are characterized by an earlier menarche and delayed the establishment of the rhythm of the menstrual cycle. some changes of rhythm humoral regulation. This is due to lead to distant damage of physiological homeostasis, influence on the implementation of the genotype of the fetus of maternal factors, as suffering a mental trauma associated with life-threatening even in before pregnancy period, causes a disruption of hormonal regulation in pregnancy.
