Women's Health
Gynecology, contraception, menopause and breast health.
Key points
- Pediatric and adolescent gynecology is an emerging specialty, at the intersection of pediatrics, pediatric endocrinology, gynecology, pediatric surgery, dermatology, psychiatry, public health medicine and genetics.
- It thus addresses a wide spectrum of diseases from the newborn period to adolescence.
- Progress in molecular biology and genetic research, as well as in imaging techniques, has greatly contributed to our understanding of the pathologies of gynecological development and, indeed, has helped to more clearly define the limits of physiological variation.
- The gynecological problems encountered in children and adolescents are often both medically and psychologically complex and thus require a highly skilled and coherent approach.
