It is known that vegetative state (VS)/unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS) patients usually have oligo- or amenorrhea. In some cases, there is a resumption of the menstrual reaction a few months before consciousness restoration. This study contributes understanding of the mechanisms of formation of a stable pathological state of the brain, and may also help to develop approaches to the treatment of this category of patients. Research of sex hormones in 33 female with different etiology and duration of VS/UWS was conducted.
The aim of the study was investigation of the gonadotropic and ovarian in VS/UWS female patients. As a result of the conducted research, two forms of ovarian insufficiency were revealed: hypogonadotropic in 42.86 % and normogonadotropic in 57.14 %.
