“…1 The comfort level among Obstetrician Gynecologists may vary, depending on the degree of exposure to children and adolescents during residency training. 2 Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology (PAG) has been a part of residency training for many years in the fields of Pediatrics and Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB/GYN), but degree of exposure is not consistent in all programs. Standards for residency education in PAG have been outlined by the Council on Resident Education in Obstetrics and Gynecology (CREOG) as objectives for OB/ GYN residents each year, including PAG learning goals.…”

“…3 Some OB/GYN residency training programs have focused education in PAG, in part because of its increasing importance, but also due to increased need, as the population age burden has shifted to younger age groups. 2 Traditionally, didactic lectures have been considered acceptable training substitutes. However, in the absence of an expert to provide organized teaching in this sub-specialty, didactic lectures may be inadequate.…”

Objective: To establish an insight into pediatric and adolescent gynecological disorders encountered in a tertiary care center in Kuwait. Subjects and Methods: A retrospective case cohort review of 89 case records of patients under the age of 19 years who were admitted to the Maternity Hospital, Kuwait, from October 2002 through September 2003 was undertaken. For a variety of reasons, 35 patients were excluded and the remaining 54 patients constituted the study population. The patients were divided into 5 groups (A–E): group A = ovarian cysts, group B = disorders of pregnancy, group C = menstrual disorders, group D = gynecological infections and group E = miscellaneous. The clinical presentation and management of patients were analyzed. Results: The following spectrum of gynecological disorders was obtained: 13 ovarian cysts (24.1%), 28 disorders of pregnancy (51.8%), 4 menstrual disorders (7.4%), 2 infections (3.7%) and 7 miscellaneous cases (13.9%). Of the 54 patients, 36 (66.7%) were Kuwaitis and the remaining 18 (33.3%) were non-Kuwaitis. The mean age of the study population was 15.16 years, the median was 15.5 years, and the range was 8–19 years. The mean age of the patients with disorders of pregnancy was 17.52 ± 1.16 years, which is significantly higher than that of groups A, C and E (p = 0.007, 0.0001 and 0.05). The main presenting symptoms at admission were vaginal bleeding: 31 (57.4%), abdominal pain: 17 (31.5%), abdominal mass: 10 (18.5%), and vomiting: 10 (18.5%). Ultrasonography revealed that dermoid cysts were the most frequently encountered ovarian cysts. Patients were hospitalized for 1–7 days. Conclusion: Disorders of pregnancy and ovarian cysts were the most frequently encountered pediatric/adolescent gynecological disorders. It is recommended that there should be a dedicated specialized clinic to guarantee privacy and centralized discreet care for these patients.
