Understanding Adolescent Gynecology

Adolescent gynecology focuses on providing gynecological care tailored to the specific needs and concerns of teenage girls, typically between the ages of 13 and 19. This specialized branch of gynecology addresses a wide range of issues, including menstrual irregularities, contraception counseling, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and reproductive health education.

Our Approach to Adolescent Gynecology

Our approach to adolescent gynecology is centered on providing comprehensive, age-appropriate care that promotes healthy development, fosters open communication, and empowers teenage girls to make informed decisions about their reproductive health. We create a safe and supportive environment where adolescents feel comfortable discussing their concerns and receiving personalized care and guidance.

Comprehensive Adolescent Gynecology Services

• Menstrual Health: We provide education and support to help teenage girls understand their menstrual cycles, manage menstrual symptoms, and address menstrual irregularities such as heavy bleeding, irregular periods, and painful cramps.
• Contraception Counseling: We offer confidential contraception counseling and services to help adolescents explore their birth control options, understand contraceptive methods, and make informed decisions about contraception to prevent unintended pregnancies.
• Sexual Health Education: We provide comprehensive sexual health education and guidance on topics such as puberty, reproductive anatomy, sexual development, and healthy relationships. We address questions and concerns related to sexual activity, consent, and STI prevention in a nonjudgmental and supportive manner.
• STI Screening and Treatment: We offer confidential screening, testing, and treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) to help adolescents protect their sexual health and reduce the risk of STI transmission. We also provide education on safe sex practices and risk reduction strategies.
• Gynecological Examinations: We perform age-appropriate gynecological examinations, including pelvic exams and Pap smears, to assess reproductive health, screen for abnormalities, and detect gynecological conditions early. We ensure that examinations are conducted with sensitivity, respect, and consideration for the adolescent’s comfort and privacy.
