ABSTRACT
The article presents data on the relationship of pathogenetic mechanisms for the development of menstrual disorders of functional and organic origin in connection with mental disturbances from the point of view of the psychosomatic concept. According to the latter, functional disorders of the menstrual cycle are considered as psychosomatic, in which gynecological pathology develops as a result of psychopathological illness. A striking example of such a disorder is functional hypothalamic amenorrhea. At the same time, endocrinopathies, such as polycystic ovary syndrome and premature ovarian insufficiency, can also be considered in the paradigm of psychosomatic illnesses of ovarian function due to the high prevalence of anxiety and depressive disorders in this cohort of patients. This review highlights the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration between a gynecologist and a psychiatrist for the most effective reproductive rehabilitation of patients with amenorrhea. Literature search was carried out in national (eLibrary, CyberLeninka.ru) and international (PubMed, Cochrane Library) databases in Russian and English. The priority was free access to the full text of articles. The choice of sources was prioritized for the period from 2018 to 2023.However, taking into account the insufficient knowledge of the chosen topic, the choice of sources dates back to 1985.
