Young women may encounter several gynecological disorders, including:

• Irregular bleeding disorders
• Developmental delays
• Neurological diseases
• Vulvovaginal problems
• Polycystic ovarian syndrome
• Endometriosis
• Reproductive tract issues
• Contraceptive management

Common medical disorders treated under Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology include:

Vulvovaginitis: Inflammation of the vulvar and vaginal tissues often caused by infection, leading to vaginal discharge. This condition is mainly attributed to the thin vaginal mucosa with an alkaline pH in children, which becomes more resistant to infections as they mature.

Genital trauma in adolescents: Injuries to the genital area that can cause abrasions or other damage, requiring medical attention.

Dysfunctional uterine bleeding: Heavy, prolonged, and frequent menstrual bleeding can cause physical and emotional distress, potentially leading to complications such as anemia. This condition disrupts the normal menstrual cycle, characterized by a monthly cycle of 28 days with bleeding lasting around 7 days. Irregularities in hormone levels affecting ovulation can result in heavier, more prolonged bleeding occurring more frequently.

Endometriosis: The presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, leading to severe abdominal pain and other symptoms.

Pediatric and adolescent gynecology involves collaboration across various medical specialties, including pediatrics, dermatology, urology, endocrinology, surgery, oncology, psychiatry, genetics, and physical therapy. Gynecological issues in infants and children require specialized care tailored to their age group, necessitating a diverse set of skills and expertise.
