The study is devoted to examining the reproductive health status of girls and adolescents born from consanguineous marriages. The research was conducted at the “Abu Ali Ibn Sino” Technical College in the Urgut district, at the Samarkand Regional Multidisciplinary Children’s Medical Center, as well as among patients who applied to the “Doctor Shifo Baxt” clinic during 2024–2025. The age of the girls and adolescents ranged from 9 to 19 years. A retrospective and prospective analysis of medical histories and questionnaires was carried out; life and disease histories were carefully collected, and the degree of kinship, as well as clinical and diagnostic indicators, were studied. The girls and adolescents were divided into two groups: The first (main) group consisted of 45 patients born from consanguineous marriages with existing reproductive disorders. The second (control) group included 100 girls born from non-consanguineous marriages, who also had reproductive disorders.
