There are some gynecological problems that the adolescent girls can face. Most of them would not know that it is a problem. Even if they knew they would hesitate to talk about it or would be shy to say it openly lest they are made fun of.
So it is the duty of the mother or the gaurdian to guide them and update
them about some of the problems they can face once they are on the
verge of attaining puberty says Dr. Swati Mani Tripathi, from FemCare clinic.
If the mother is not able to explain they girls can have a session with a
well-known, and youth friendly gynecologist who can keep the girls
informed about the different problems, they can face. Of course, not all
will be facing them but when someone is facing any it should be
resolved as soon as possible to avoid some complexity in future.
So what are these gynecologist problems the teenage girls can face?
Menstrual disorders- girls normally start menstruating somewhere
between the age of 11 and 15. The initial periods may not be regular and
also the flow may be scanty or too copious. But if this persists or if
the girl hasn’t menstruated before 15 a gynecologist needs to be
contacted.
Dysmenorrhea- having a painful period occasionally is normal.
However, if the pain is unbearable then a gynecologist needs to be
consulted at the earliest.
Secondary amenorrhea – some girls may not get their period regularly and
also may have a gap of 5-6 months between two periods. If this
continues for long, then a visit to the gynecologist becomes necessary.
Vaginal discharge- vaginal discharge is normal but if itching
accompanies this then it may cause some irritation and the girl may feel
embarrassed too. consulting a doctor and getting some treatment for
this would set the things right and the girl can have some peace of
mind.
Ovarian cysts- in some girls, ovarian cysts are found to be
formed. The earlier it is known the better. There may be a pain in the
pelvic region and also vomiting and nausea. The sooner the tests were
done and this is treated the better.
Endometriosis- a persistent dysmenorrhea may be due to this
disorder so the doctor may advise some advanced treatment and also
surgery. If dysmenorrhea is found, then it is the high time a good
gynecologist is consulted at the earliest.
HPV infections- teenage girls may get HPV infection and then it
needs to be treated at the earliest. The girls can get vaccinated to
prevent the occurrence of HPV.
Overlooking these may be detrimental to the future sexual life of the
girls so if there is any abnormality seen in the menstrual cycle it is
advisable to contact your gynecologist.Dr. Swati Mani Tripathi is one of
