Adolescent Gynecology

Adolescent gynecology focuses on the unique reproductive health needs of young women during adolescence, typically from puberty through their teenage years. It addresses a range of gynecological issues specific to this age group, including menstrual irregularities, pelvic pain, contraception counseling, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and reproductive health education. Providers in adolescent gynecology strive to create a comfortable and supportive environment for teenagers to discuss sensitive topics and receive confidential care. They emphasize education on puberty, menstrual hygiene, safe sexual practices, and the importance of regular gynecological exams. By promoting early intervention, education, and access to reproductive health services, adolescent gynecology plays a crucial role in empowering young women to make informed decisions about their health and well-being as they transition into adulthood.
