Adolescent Gynecology
Gentle, age-appropriate care for young women.
The early years of a young woman’s reproductive health deserve careful, unhurried attention. At KidsHeart Medical Center,
our gynecology services include a dedicated adolescent gynecology service for teenagers across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Al Ain, in a setting designed to feel safe and age-appropriate.
What Adolescent Gynecology Covers
This service is for girls and teenagers from the onset of menstruation through to their late teens, covering concerns that are common at this stage but should not go without guidance.
- Irregular, absent, or very painful periods
- Heavy bleeding that disrupts school or daily activity
- Early or delayed onset of menstruation
- Signs of PCOS or hormonal imbalance in adolescence
- Acne or excess hair growth linked to hormonal changes
- Questions about normal development and reproductive health
When to Bring Your Daughter In
Many parents are unsure when gynecological care is appropriate for a teenager. A consultation is worth arranging if:
- Periods have not started by age 15
- Cycles are consistently very painful or very heavy
- Periods are irregular beyond the first year of menstruation
- Your daughter is anxious or distressed about changes in her body
- A GP or school nurse has flagged a concern for follow-up
Addressing these concerns early prevents more complex problems later.
What to Expect at the Consultation
Adolescent consultations are handled with sensitivity and privacy. Each step is explained to both parent and patient before proceeding.
- A relaxed conversation about symptoms, cycle history, and any concerns
- Hormonal blood work if indicated, with clear explanation for the patient
- Ultrasound when needed, performed by a specialist experienced with younger patients
- Clear guidance for parents on what is normal and what warrants monitoring
- A follow-up plan if ongoing support is needed
