Paediatric and Adolescent Gynecology
Paediatric and Adolescent Gynecology
Pediatric and adolescent gynecology is a specialized field focused on the reproductive health of girls and young women, typically ranging from infancy to late adolescence. This branch of medicine addresses a wide range of issues unique to this population, including menstrual disorders, pelvic pain, congenital abnormalities of the reproductive organs, and adolescent contraception. It also provides care for conditions such as ovarian cysts, vulvovaginitis, and sexual health education. Pediatric and adolescent gynecologists are trained to approach these sensitive topics with empathy and age-appropriate communication, ensuring comprehensive care tailored to each patient's developmental stage and needs. Regular gynecological exams and education on reproductive health are essential components of this specialty, promoting early detection and intervention when necessary.
