J Clin Med. 2021 Mar 4;10(5):1071. doi: 10.3390/jcm10051071.

Abstract

Pediatric-adolescent or developmental gynecology has been separated from general gynecology because of the unique issues that affect the development and anatomy of growing girls and young women. It deals with patients from the neonatal period until maturity. There are not many gynecological problems that can be diagnosed in newborns; however, some are typical of the neonatal period. This paper aims to discuss the most frequent gynecological issues in the neonatal period.

Keywords: atypical-appearing genitals; developmental gynecology; hydrocolpos; newborn; ovarian cysts; pediatric gynecology.
