Pediatric and adolescent gynecology, also known as PAG, is a unique subspecialty in the field of obstetrics and gynecology. The specialty provides gynecologic care to infants, children, and adolescents. Children and adolescents have special needs compared to their adult counterparts. Pediatric and adolescent gynecologists have specialized training to provide comprehensive gynecologic care from birth to young adulthood.
The fellowship trains physicians to manage both common and uncommon pediatric and adolescent gynecologic conditions, become skilled in a broad range of surgical techniques – including minimally invasive procedures for children – manage complex reproductive anomalies, and employ an interdisciplinary approach to reconstructive surgery.
Pediatric patients may have congenital malformations of the reproductive tract, skin conditions of the vulva, vulvovaginitis (inflammation or infection of the vulva or vagina), labial adhesions, retained foreign body (most commonly toilet paper) or signs of early puberty.
