What Is Paediatric and Adolescent Gynaecology?

Paediatric and adolescent gynaecology is the specialist assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of gynaecological conditions affecting babies, children, and teenagers. The care of younger patients differs from adult gynaecology because their anatomy, hormonal development, and emotional needs require a specialised, age-appropriate approach. From infancy through adolescence, expert assessment can help diagnose conditions early, provide reassurance, and support healthy reproductive development.

Our experienced consultant gynaecologists provide comprehensive, evidence-based care in a professional, supportive, and child-friendly environment. Every consultation is conducted sensitively and at a pace appropriate for the child or young person, ensuring they feel comfortable throughout their appointment. Parents or guardians are involved in discussions and decision-making where appropriate, allowing families to make informed decisions about their child’s care with confidence.

What Conditions Can a Paediatric Gynaecologist Treat?

Children and teenagers can develop a wide range of gynaecological conditions, from problems present at birth to concerns that arise during puberty and adolescence. While many conditions are straightforward to manage, others require specialist assessment to establish an accurate diagnosis, provide reassurance, and ensure that appropriate treatment is started promptly. Early intervention can often help relieve symptoms, prevent complications, and support healthy physical and reproductive development.

Our experienced consultant gynaecologists assess and treat a wide range of paediatric and adolescent gynaecological conditions, including painful, heavy, irregular, or absent periods, early or delayed puberty, vulval pain or irritation, recurrent vulval infections, labial adhesions, ovarian cysts, pelvic pain, congenital abnormalities of the reproductive tract, vaginal discharge, genital skin conditions, menstrual disorders, and concerns about normal pubertal development. Every treatment plan is tailored to the individual needs, age, and stage of development of each child or teenager.

When Should You Seek Specialist Advice?

Many childhood and teenage gynaecological symptoms are harmless and may resolve naturally, but persistent, severe, or unusual symptoms should always be assessed by an experienced specialist. Early assessment can help identify the underlying cause, provide reassurance for both the child and their family, exclude more serious conditions, and ensure that appropriate treatment is started as early as possible to support your child’s health and development.

You may benefit from specialist assessment if your child has painful, heavy, or irregular periods, periods that have not started by the expected age, persistent pelvic pain, recurrent vulval discomfort or infections, abnormal vaginal discharge or bleeding, ovarian cysts, concerns about early or delayed puberty, abnormalities of genital development, or any other ongoing gynaecological symptoms that are affecting their health, wellbeing, or everyday life.

What Does Your Consultation Involve?

Your consultation will begin with a detailed discussion about your child’s symptoms, medical history, medications, family history, growth and development, and any concerns you or your child may have. We understand that every child and teenager is different, which is why we take the time to ensure the consultation is relaxed, supportive, and appropriate for their age and level of understanding. Our aim is to help both the young person and their family feel comfortable, informed, and involved throughout the assessment.

Where appropriate, your consultant may recommend further investigations such as pelvic ultrasound, blood tests, hormone assessment, or other specialist investigations to help establish an accurate diagnosis. A physical examination is only performed when clinically necessary, is fully explained beforehand, and always takes place with appropriate consent in a sensitive, age-appropriate manner. Once the assessment has been completed, your consultant will explain the findings clearly, answer any questions you may have, and develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your child’s individual needs and stage of development.

Menstrual Problems in Teenagers

Menstrual problems are one of the most common reasons for referral to a paediatric gynaecologist. Heavy, painful, irregular, or absent periods can have a significant impact on a teenager’s daily life, affecting school attendance, sport, social activities, sleep, confidence, and overall wellbeing. While some menstrual irregularity is common during the early years after periods begin, persistent or severe symptoms should be assessed to identify any underlying hormonal or gynaecological condition.
Consultant reviewing a teenager's menstrual history
Following a comprehensive assessment, our experienced consultant gynaecologists will identify the underlying cause of your teenager’s symptoms and recommend the most appropriate treatment based on their age, stage of development, and individual needs. Our aim is to relieve symptoms, minimise disruption to everyday life, and support their long-term reproductive health and wellbeing.

Puberty and Development Concerns

Puberty is a normal part of growing up, but the timing and pattern of development can vary considerably between children. While these differences are often entirely normal, unusually early, delayed, or abnormal pubertal development may sometimes indicate an underlying hormonal or gynaecological condition that requires specialist assessment. Early evaluation can provide reassurance, identify any underlying cause, and ensure that appropriate treatment or monitoring is started where necessary.
Family receiving advice from a consultant gynaecologist
Our experienced consultant gynaecologists assess a wide range of concerns relating to puberty, menstrual development, and reproductive health, providing expert advice and evidence-based care tailored to each child’s age, stage of development, and individual needs.
