Sociological and physiological changes during childhood and puberty often bring to the surface gynecological problems which vary in long-term potential severity, but can usually be treated most successfully during these rapid-growth periods. This long-awaited volume provides a comprehensive and clinically oriented account of female development during childhood and adolescence, and details the diagnosis, management, and prevention of all the gynecological disorders, both common and rare, relevant to these age groups. A comprehensive reference covering the transition of the female from birth to adolescence, Paediatric and Adolescent Gynaecology meets the growing demand among pediatricians and gynecologists for an up-to-date holistic approach to both normal and abnormal developmental gynecology. A multi-disciplinary team of experts has been brought together to seamlessly blend the areas of pediatrics and gynecology with relevant information from oncology, genetics, sexual abuse, surgery, and psychology.
