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.

Common Adolescent Gynecological Problems:

• Irregular Menstrual Cycles – Delayed, early, or absent periods (amenorrhea, oligomenorrhea, menorrhagia).
• Dysmenorrhea (Painful Periods) – Severe cramps and pain during menstruation.
• PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) – Hormonal imbalance leading to irregular periods, acne, weight gain, and excessive hair growth.
• Leucorrhea (White Discharge) – Excessive vaginal discharge due to infections or hormonal changes.
• Anemia & Nutritional Deficiencies – Common due to poor diet and heavy menstrual bleeding.
• Hormonal Imbalances – Mood swings, acne, weight fluctuations.
• Reproductive Health Education – Awareness about menstruation, hygiene, and sexual health.
• Delayed or Early Puberty – Growth and development concerns related to hormonal issues.
