Pediatric Gynaecology

Pediatric gynaecology deals with the health of the vagina, vulva, uterus, and ovaries of infants, children, and adolescents. Examination of the external genitalia should be done by gently moving the labia minor to either side, or gently moving them towards the anterior (front) side of the body to expose the vaginal introitus. Routine physical examinations by a pediatrician typically include a visual examination of breasts and vulva; more extensive examinations may be performed by a pediatrician in response to a specific complaint.
