Today, the specialty gynaecological endocrinology covers a very large field of physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms as well as endocrine diseases related to the ovarian axis. Gynaecological endocrinological processes accompany a wife from pregnancy and birth to the late postmenopause, passing through puberty, irregularities of the menstrual cycle, androgenization and infertility. The present review intends to give an overview on the different ways of investigation and of treatment typical for each endocrine problem in gynaecology and to point to some easily accessible literature.
