Adolescent Problems
Adolescence is a critical phase of development marked by hormonal, physical, and emotional changes. Many young girls face gynecological and reproductive health issues during this time, requiring specialized care and guidance from obstetricians and gynecologists. Early intervention and proper counseling can help manage these concerns effectively.
