The analysis of scientific papers published in eLibrary, PubMed, Google Scholar for 2020–2023 is carried out. The clinical recommendations ‘Abnormal uterine bleeding in puberty’, methodological recommendations of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation ‘Features of clinical manifestations and treatment of the disease caused by a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) in children’ and temporary methodological recommendations of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation ‘Prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19)’ were analyzed. There is a clear link between the increase in the number of hospitalized girls of early reproductive age with abnormal uterine bleeding of the puberty period (AUB PP) and the transferred COVID-19. In order to improve, predict and optimize the tactics of management and treatment of girls with AUB PP and coronavirus infection, the impact of COVID-19, the features of their etiology and pathogenesis were analyzed. Given the high degree of chronic course and the tendency to relapse, it is necessary to develop a methodology to assess the likelihood of a repeat case of AUB PP, including based on the pathogenetic features of the impact of COVID-19 on the menstrual cycle
