Gynecological endocrinology and reproductive medicine from birth until the senescence: focus on the Reproductive Medicine Institute of the National Research Centre for Endocrinology

Gynecological endocrinology (also known as endocrine gynecology) is the unique integrative area of reproductive medicine.

According to Russian legislation there is no such specialization as endocrinologist-gynecologist but there is a lack of appropriate doctors due to complicated residenture post-diploma system in Russian national healthcare. Nowadays 80% gynecological disorders are related to endocrinopathies in opposite to 20% caused by sexually transmitted infections and orphan diseases. The aim of the present article is to present modern condition of female healthcare and actuality of endocrine gynecology service development in the Endocrinology Research Centre (Moscow, Russia).
