Adolescent Gynecology

Adolescent gynecology addresses the unique reproductive health needs of girls and young women during a critical stage of physical, emotional, and social development. As puberty and menstruation begin, adolescents often face challenges related to menstrual irregularities, hormonal imbalances, acne, polycystic ovary syndrome , and concerns around body image and sexuality. Early education and access to adolescent-friendly healthcare services are essential for promoting healthy development and preventing long-term reproductive and mental health issues. This stage also presents an opportunity to introduce safe practices, HPV vaccination, menstrual hygiene management, and awareness of sexually transmitted infections. Providing care in a respectful, confidential, and nonjudgmental environment builds trust and encourages open communication about sensitive topics such as sexual orientation, contraception, consent, and emotional well-being. Clinicians must be trained to recognize signs of abuse, eating disorders, and mental health struggles that often present during adolescence. In line with the goals of Gynecology 2025, advocates for integrated, age-appropriate care that empowers adolescents to make informed, confident decisions about their health while laying the foundation for a lifetime of wellness.
