Resume

The purpose of the study is to study the characteristics of growth and puberty in adolescents with thyroid nodules.

Material and research methods. We examined and examined 125 adolescents in the Kashkadarya region aged 11 to 17 years with nodular formations in the thyroid gland. Of these, there were 78 boys, 53 girls. The patients were divided into 3 groups: group 1 – adolescents with a thyroid nodule up to 1 cm – 32 patients, group 2 – adolescents with a thyroid nodule from 1 to 2 cm (or multiple nodes) – 19 persons , group 3 – adolescents with a thyroid nodule more than 2 cm (or multiple nodes) 17 patients. 20 healthy teenagers made up the control group.

All patients underwent clinical, hormonal, instrumental studies.

Research results. There was a significant difference with the control group of anthropometry data of 43 identified adolescents with delayed puberty and growth.

Thus, the performed studies showed the negative impact of nodulation in the thyroid gland on the state of growth and puberty in adolescents.

Conclusions. 1. There was a significant difference between the mean scores for boys and girls in the growth groups and the control group. At the same time, the average height significantly lagged behind the control in the 3rd group of patients.

2. The most frequently observed growth retardation and puberty – 19 cases (15.2%). A total of 43 patients out of 125 (34.4%) were found to have growth retardation and puberty.

Key words: adolescents, nodules, thyroid gland
