Children's age and the fact that a girl is not sexually active does not guarantee women's health.
Therefore, there is the concept of a pediatric gynecologist. Parents should treat this doctor like everyone else. If a girl was sent for examination, this does not mean that she is suspected of something or there is a risk of contracting an STD, experts say.The fact is that many gynecological diseases, which in the future even threaten infertility, manifest themselves in childhood.
Then, when the girl becomes a girl, the consequences will be irreversible, but so far the pathology can be cured.
What diseases can a pediatric gynecologist detect?
At the age of 6-7 years, a girl may already have certain problems, for example, vulvovaginitis, congenital tumors or ovarian cysts, fusion of the labia minora and so on. In addition, it is important to monitor the processes during puberty in order to timely help with imbalances.
It is the gynecologist who can adjust the nutrition of the little lady, because addictions are reflected on the genital area, for example, the passion for sweet soda, sweet desserts and fast food.When should a teenager be sent to a gynecologist for examination
Teenage girls should see a specialist once a year if they have started their period.
Until this moment, it is enough to show the child to the doctor every two years, if there are no complaints.
Finding redness in the labia area in the child, discharge of an unusual color, and also if the child talks about itching, burning or pain in the lower abdomen, you should visit a doctor unscheduled to find out causes.What does a girl expect at a specialist appointment?
The pediatric specialist does the examination differently, and there is no mirror, for example.
