Preventive examinations of a paediatric gynaecologist are performed since the first days of a girl’s life. Until puberty, the task of a gynaecologist for this stage is to reveal congenital defects and teach a mother how to take care of child's genitals. After the age of 12 a gynaecologist plays an important role in transfer of knowledge on the development of adolescent’s genital sphere and also on contraception and safe sex to preserve women’s health.
If congenital anomalies were not revealed and there were no disturbing symptoms, all the examinations until the age of 12 would be performed for preventive purposes only. Girls up to 1 year of age are examined on a changing table, from 1 to 7 years – on a couch, 7 years and older – on a couch or on a gynaecological examination chair (at choice). The first scheduled exploratory medical ultrasound is performed at the age of 12.
We understand that the topic of gynaecological examinations is very delicate and requires tactfulness and good attitude to a patient by the doctor. That is why comfort and safety of our little patients is our number one concern in Dobrobut clinic chain. Gynaecological examinations are performed only in the presence of mother or grandmother, and before an examination the doctor explains in detail what he or she will do and with what purpose.
Toys are available for very young patients in the paediatric gynaecologist's office. A paediatric gynaecologist of Dobrobut clinic chain will become a real friend of your girl who she can trust in maintaining health and safety.
