Do you know a child or teen that may benefit from seeing a gynecologist? For young ladies, the gynecologist can be a very frightening experience. Having doctors and nurses who understand the needs of younger generations can make the difference in how successful a treatment plan becomes. Dr. Benjie Mills and her staff provide a comfortable and caring environment for young ladies.
Reasons to seek gynecologic care in a young person include:
- Menstrual periods that are very heavy or painful, causing a decrease in activities or school absences
- Itching, persistent irritation, or rashes in the genital area
- Concerns regarding anatomy or puberty
- Contraception
- Safe sex practices
- Sexually transmitted disease testing
- Abdominal or pelvic pain that persists
- Human papillomavirus vaccination
It's a fact - girls, teens and woman fear the "pelvic examination." Many girls and teens actually do not need a pelvic examination in order to evaluate and treat their problem. Your doctor can gain information using ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) without the traditional pelvic examination.
