Adolescent gynecology and obstetrics
Abstract
Adolescent gynecology is a subspeciality of obstetrics and gynecology and not broadly known. It deals with many gynecological and obstetrical problems which may be seen during adolescence. The International Federation of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology is a branch of FIGO and promotes research and teaching programs on pediatric and adolescent gynecology. Health care professionals should address sex education programs providing accurate information to young people on sexual matters. Prevention of gynecological diseases, undesired pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases are the goals of physicians working in adolescent gynecology.
