Don’t shy away from asking girls to see gynecologists
For a long time, some parents have always been confused about their children suffering from gynecological diseases. They even mistakenly believe that it is a shameful thing for girls to have gynecological diseases. They are ashamed to admit that girls have gynecological diseases, and they are even less willing to take their children to the gynecological department. go to hospital. Even if I go to the gynecologist, I will always be secretive when discussing my condition with the doctor. I heard that I needed a gynecological examination, but I was worried about damaging the child's hymen.
In fact, gynecological diseases can occur in girls at all ages from newborn to adolescence.
We have encountered several girls with abdominal pain in the pediatric gynecology department. Due to the intermittent abdominal pain, they first saw internal medicine and then surgery. The pain gradually worsened, and finally they saw the pediatric gynecology department. After a gynecological examination, the diagnosis was confirmed. Several girls suffered from atresia of hymen. It can be seen that parents should not shy away from allowing girls to see gynecologists
When going to the pediatric gynecologist, parents should tell the doctor the girl's medical history, symptoms, etc. The doctor will conduct various necessary examinations and tests according to the condition. Doctors generally do not perform vaginal examinations on girls, only anal examinations, which will not damage the hymen. If the condition is complicated or the diseased area requires vaginal examination, parents’ consent will be obtained in advance. For some diseases, such as congenital hymenal atresia, if the hymenotomy is not performed in time, not only will the acute abdominal pain not be relieved in time, but it will sometimes complicate the condition or cause lifelong infertility. In this case, protecting the hymen has been relegated to a secondary position.
So, under what circumstances should girls see pediatric gynecology? Mainly include unexplained vulvar or vaginal bleeding, breast development before the age of 8, menstruation before the age of 16, severe dysmenorrhea, abnormal menstruation, abnormal leucorrhea, abnormal development of the external genitalia, vulvar itching and trauma, lower abdominal pain, etc.
It is generally believed that girls should have at least one gynecological physical examination before menarche to detect and exclude certain congenital abnormalities and correct them in time.
