Understanding Adolescent Gynaecology
What does Adolescent Gynaecology care involve?
A private and respectful space for adolescents to discuss menstrual, hormonal, ovarian and development concerns. Recommendations are made after reviewing symptoms, medical history, investigations and personal priorities.
When should I arrange a consultation?
Arrange a consultation when symptoms are persistent, worsening, affecting daily life or causing concern. Urgent or severe symptoms require prompt assessment through an appropriate emergency service.
What should we ask about comfort and privacy?
Ask how the clinician explains any examination, obtains consent and handles sensitive questions. Make space for the adolescent’s own concerns as well as the concerns of accompanying family members.
