PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY: Gynecological disorders—such as menstrual problems, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), infertility, and reproductive cancers—affect many young women around the world. However, very little is known about how common these conditions are among young women in Kazakhstan. To understand the situation better, we reviewed all published studies that looked at noninfectious gynecological disorders in Kazakhstani adolescents and young women. Out of 60 available papers, only eight met the criteria for inclusion. These studies showed that conditions like PCOS, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, painful periods, and infertility are frequently reported in this population. Several factors may increase the risk of these disorders, including obesity, low awareness about reproductive health, and cultural stigma that makes many young women feel uncomfortable discussing gynecological symptoms. These barriers also make it harder for girls and young women to seek timely medical care. Overall, our review shows that gynecological disorders among young women in Kazakhstan are common but often overlooked, underdiagnosed, and underreported. There is a strong need for better health education, more supportive healthcare services, and high-quality research to understand and address these problems early.
