Children's gynecologist

What you need to know about an appointment with a gynecologist

• When to consult a gynecologist for children?

  At a younger age, the appearance of synechiae (fusion of the labia) can be a reason to consult a pediatric gynecologist.

  In adolescence, a pediatric gynecologist conducts an examination to monitor the development of secondary sexual characteristics of a girl, the regularity of menstruation.

• What does a pediatric gynecologist do during the initial consultation?

  During the examination, the mother is always with the girl so that the child does not get nervous. The examination takes place on the couch. It is important to explain to the girl that such an examination is necessary so that nothing hurts.

  The child must understand that an examination by a gynecologist is as mandatory an examination as by other doctors, and there is no need to be ashamed of it, because the doctor only wants to help.

  During the initial consultation, the doctor:

  1. Check if there are any complaints.
  2. Will conduct an external examination to understand whether the genitals and mammary glands are developing correctly.
  3. According to indications, the doctor can take a urogenital smear or perform an examination of the uterus and ovaries through the anus.
