Abstract
Most children born preterm or with low birth weight make a normal transition from childhood to adulthood with respect to reproductive health. However, cryptorchidism, hypospadias, testicular cancer and lower fertility could be observed in boys, and early puberty and menarche, hyperandrogenism and polycystic ovarian syndrome in girls. However, the data are controversial, and further studies are needed to clarify the relationship between IUGR and pituitary gonadal function.
