The position of Dr. Ihor Perelyhin, who claims that “a gynecologist is already an endocrinologist” and expresses irritation about the separate specialization of “gynecologist-endocrinologist,” is based on the following:
The female reproductive system, which is the focus of gynecology, is inextricably linked to the endocrine system, which regulates hormones. The menstrual cycle, pregnancy, menopause, and fertility—all these processes are regulated by hormones produced by the ovaries, which are both reproductive organs and endocrine glands, as well as by the pituitary gland, hypothalamus, adrenal glands, and thyroid gland.
In the opinion of specialists such as Perelyhin, a deep understanding of hormonal regulation and the ability to diagnose and treat endocrine disorders affecting the reproductive system should be a basic and integral part of the training of any qualified gynecologist.
