INTRODUCTION
Nowadays, the priority direction of Russian state politics in sphere of health relates to protection of reproductive health of adolescent girls, general somatic health promotion, support of scientific researches on detecting risk groups and studying of the pathogenesis of adolescent gynaecological diseases, leading to generative disorders (Ye.V. Uvarova, 2013; G.T. Sukhih et al., 2013).
A steadily unfavorable tendency of deteriorating health in children has become so sustainable nowadays that it creates real threat to national security of the country. There is a birth rate decrease, an increase of infant mortality, a significant decrease in percentage of healthy children at birth, an increase in number of the persons disabled from childhood, and patients with chronic pathology. The frequency of violations in formation of reproductive system and deviations in psychosomatic health of adolescents has increased. In this regard, reproductive potential of current adolescent girls is quite low.
The development and maturation of a child goes through the number of successive periods, and one of the most important is a period of sexual development and puberty. The puberty period determines transition from “neutral childhood” to complete maturation of reproductive system with ability to carry out its main function, fertility and reproductive ability.
Nowadays, there is no doubt that functioning of female reproductive system is largely determined by its timely and harmonious development during puberty. For today, we have increase in number of poorly differential constitutional forms of accelerating and decelerating sexual development. In general, the number of children with normal puberty in population has decreased.
At the moment, knowledge about specialties of reproductive system formation is very relevant in work of medical and pedagogical organizations, as well as timely ascertaining of pathological deviations of reproductive system formation, and early prevention of violations, which can further lead to decrease of reproductive potential, causing reproduction of population and demographic situation in our country. Ensuring and protecting of children and adolescent health is the most forward­looking contribution into reproductive, intellectual, economical, political and moral reserve of society.

In the study aid, the author has described evaluation methods of age-related specific features of puberty and sexual development of the girls, based on analysis of literature data and her own researches.
Study aid includes the materials for self-control.
Study aid is intended for use in educational process during preparation of residents by specialty 31.08.01 “Obstetrics and Gynaecology”, also it can be used at training courses for practitioners: obstetrician-gynaecologists and pediatric and adolescent gynaecologists.

SECTION 1. MAIN PERIODS OF HUMAN REPRODUCTIVE
SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT
The development and formation of mature type of functioning of reproductive system of female body is a multi-period and multi-component biological process. Each period of human biological development has the limits, which, however, are rather conditional, because they are determined by the genetic and phylogenetic features of individual development.
Taking into account up-to-date knowledge about age-related hormone level dynamics, caused by structural changes of separate organs, a classification of the main periods of female reproductive period formation can be represented as follows (Table 1). Highlighting the period of intrauterine development in proposed classification is important because exactly at this period of human development, the forward and backward linkages between hypothalamus, pituitary gland and endocrine organs are formed.

1.1. EMBRYONIC PERIOD
Before 6–7 weeks of embryo development, histogenesis and organogenensis, including the reproductive system, do not have sex differences and mainly depend on severity of the influence of peptide and steroid hormones circulating in placental-fetal blood flow. Se differences begin to appear only after the expression (activation) of some genes, the main of which is normally located on Y-chromosome (SexRegionY), that is why it is called SRY-gene.
The functions of SRY-gene:
- initiation of the synthesis of testis determination factor from the cells of
bipotential gonad medullary part (Testis Determination Factor);
- regulatory role in the synthesis of aromatase, which converts testosterone to
estradiol;
- gene expression, including formation of substance inhibiting the Mullerian
ducts.
The development of hypothalamic structures start from 5 weeks of embryonic period. Even before placenta development, under the direct influence of chorionic hormone and maternal sex hormones, activation of genes occurs, and these genes control division and differentiation of hypothalamic and pituitary neurons. As a result, the neurons of hypothalamus medial nuclei acquire unique feature to synthesize and secrete numerous peptides that are hormones (releasing hormones and their inhibitors), also they can carry out the function of neurotransmitters.
From 10th week of fetal life, in response to gonadotropin-releasing hormones (GnRh), the cells of frontal pituitary gland (gonadotrophs) begin to secrete follicle­stimulating (FSH) and luteonizing (LH) hormones. By 12th week of intrauterine development, complete response of the cells of frontal lobe of pituitary gonadotrophs to GnRh, which coincides in time with formation of vascular connection between the nuclei of hypothalamus and the pituitary gland.
Impulse secretion of gonadotropic hormones under the influence of GnRh increases by 20–28th week to a level, distinctive for woman in postmenopausal period. At the same time, by this period of intrauterine development, such powerful endocrine organ, as placenta begins to resist hypersecretion of gonadotropic hormones. High concentrations of sex steroids and placental lactogen, circulating in
10
fetal blood cause inhibition of GnRH and decrease of pituitary gland sensitivity, having the biggest intensity in fetuses in the last decade of intrauterine development.
There are following periods in the development of the ovaries:
5–7 weeks the period of indifferent gonads;
7–8 weeks the beginning of sexual differentiation;
8–10 weeks the breeding season of oogonia;
10–20 weeks the period of undivided oocytes;
20–38 weeks the period of primary follicles.
The following conditions are required for development of full-fledged ovary:
- the presence of two structurally complete X-chromosomes, either in primary germ cells (gonadoblasts), or in the cells of the sex cords, which are responsible for ovary development from cortical part of the biopotential gonad;
- full control of miotic division of oogonia, and formation of oocytes of 1st order on 17–20th week on intrauterine period;
- ability of oocytes of 1st order to switch mitosis to prophase of the first meiotic dividion for the formation of primordial follicles.
The hormonal activity of fetal ovaries remains extremely low up to the birth, because the special features of structural organization at the background of placenta existence, do not allow them to actively transform progesterone and other C21­steroids into androgens and estrogens.
1.2. NEONATAL AND INFANCY PERIOD
From the moment of birth, a drop of hormone level of uteroplacental origin causes reflexive increase in production of pituitary hormones. The concentration of growth hormone (GH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and gonadotropins sharply increases. An increase of FSH concentration in girls in the first days of life exceeds LH secretion, which leads to significant growth and maturation of ovarial follicular apparatus. A reaction of vaginal contents becomes acidic, рН 4.0–5.0. Lactobacilli presented mainly by bifidobacteria are noted in vaginal microcenosis.
A decrease of estrogen level in newborn girls occurs during the first 7–14 days, which leads to the appearance of desquamation vulvovaginitis (4–8 days), and to menstrual flows (5–8 days after birth) in 10–15 % girls. The endometrium reaches 10 mm. Secretory changes are most often noted in the endometrium. Sometimes there
