Study Objective: To describe the experience of a tertiary pediatric and adolescent gynecology service that provides care to children and adolescents who present with vulval pain. Their presentation, associated symptoms, and management is described.
Design: A retrospective analysis of all girls younger than 18 years of age who presented to the gynecology clinic of our tertiary referral Children's Hospital between Jan 2010 and July 2016.
Aims: This study sought to observe the rate and timing of spontaneous resolution of labial adhesions that had been diagnosed in pre-pubertal girls. The secondary aim was to evaluate the conservative approach to management of labial adhesions that has been advocated by the Gynaecology Department, by assessing the rates of concurrent uro-gynaecological symptoms in this population, as well as parent satisfaction with their child's management.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed of all patients diagnosed with labial adhesions in the Department of Paediatric and Adolescent Gynaecology between 2000 and 2017.
