Özet
Women's hormonal systems are unique because of the cyclical changes observed during pregnancy, the menstrual cycle, and menopause. During these periods, physiological changes arise in the body depending on the varying levels of estrogen and progesterone hormones [1, 2]. Every organ system is affected by the metabolic, endocrinological, and physiological changes that occur during pregnancy. As a result, various symptoms may arise. For this reason, otolaryngologists and head and neck surgeons need to master the physiological changes occurring in pregnancy and the associated symptoms. On the other hand, diagnosing diseases may become more complicated due to nonspecific symptoms [1, 2].
