What do we treat?

Adolescent Gynaecologist – Gynecologic problems can surface at any age from birth through adulthood. More than 500 children and young women visit our Adolescent Gynecology Department each year for diagnosis and treatment of conditions including:

Abnormal vaginal discharge

Fluid (discharge) from the vagina helps to clean the vagina and protect it from infection. Unusual discharge may be a sign of a problem. Before puberty, it may be a sign of an infection, skin irritation, allergy, inflammation of the vulva (outer part of the female genitals) or having something in the vagina.

Androgen insensitivity syndrome

Androgen insensitivity syndrome happens when the body is unable to respond to androgens, like testosterone. Most people who have androgen insensitivity syndrome have female genitals and are diagnosed with the condition after they have breast development with puberty but never have a menstrual period.

Congenital anomalies of the reproductive system

Some babies have differences (anomalies) in their reproductive organs that happen as the organs form. These differences are present at birth (congenital). They may be found at birth or later in life, such as at puberty. The organs inside the body (uterus, cervix, vagina and hymen) and outside the body (labia and clitoris) may be affected.

Delayed puberty

Signs of puberty, such as developing breasts and starting menstrual periods, usually begin in the early teens. The age range varies. Development may begin later for many reasons. Sometimes medical problems can cause delayed puberty. In these cases, careful treatment with hormone medicines may help.

Early puberty

Signs of puberty, such as developing breasts and starting menstrual periods, usually begin in the early teens. The age range varies. Development may begin earlier for many reasons. Sometimes medical problems can cause early puberty.

Endometriosis

Endometriosis is when tissue that is similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of the uterus. The most common places where endometriosis occurs are the ovaries; the fallopian tubes; the bowel; and the areas in front, back and to the sides of the uterus.

Ovarian cysts and tumors

Ovarian cysts (fluid-filled sacs) tend to happen when the ovary is making an egg (follicle). Surgery may be needed if your child has cysts that are large, cause pain, limit blood flow to the ovaries or might be tumors.

Primary ovarian insufficiency

Primary ovarian insufficiency is a condition where the ovaries stop releasing eggs and hormones earlier than expected (or never start).

Skin conditions of the vulva

Your child may have swelling, pain, itching or sores (ulcers) in the skin on the outside of their genitals (vulva). An infection, irritation or inflammatory disorder may trigger these symptoms.

Treatments and surgical services that we provide include

Colposcopy to evaluate abnormal pap tests.
Endoscopic examination.
Laparoscopic single-port surgery.
