The Diversity of Developmental Age Gynecology—Selected Issues

<b>Background/Objectives:</b> Pediatric and adolescent gynaecology addresses the distinct developmental needs of the reproductive systems of young patients. Diagnosing and treating gynaecological issues in this age group are challenging due to overlapping symptoms and the developmental stage. This study aimed to identify common gynecological issues based on retrospective analysis of medical documentation from the Developmental Gynecology and Sexology Laboratory of the Gynecology Clinic, Department of Gynecology, Poznan University of Medical Sciences (UMP) from the years 2012-2023. <b>Methods:</b> The study involved 4942 patients under 18 years old. Medical records from the years 2012-2023 were analyzed, focusing on the most frequent diagnoses. Statistical analyses were performed using StatSoft STATISTICA PL 10 software, with a significance threshold of <i>p</i> < 0.05. <b>Results:</b> The most frequent diagnosis was pelvic pain syndrome (77.8%), followed by androgenization syndromes (13.2%). While the number of admissions remained stable over the years (r = 0.131, <i>p</i> > 0.05), there was a significant increase in the percentage of androgenization syndromes (<i>p</i> = 0.0040) and a decrease in pelvic pain syndrome cases (<i>p</i> = 0.0018). Other conditions such as eating disorders and psychosexual issues were also prevalent, highlighting the need for a multidisciplinary approach. <b>Conclusions:</b> The analysis indicates a shift in adolescent gynaecological diagnoses over time, with pelvic pain syndrome decreasing and androgenization syndromes increasing. The findings underline the importance of specialised, multidisciplinary care and further research to adapt diagnostic and therapeutic strategies to the changing landscape of pediatric gynaecology.

<b>Background/Objectives:</b> Pediatric and adolescent gynaecology addresses the distinct developmental needs of the reproductive systems of young patients. Diagnosing and treating gynaecological issues in this age group are challenging due to overlapping symptoms and the developmental stage. This study aimed to identify common gynecological issues based on retrospective analysis of medical documentation from the Developmental Gynecology and Sexology Laboratory of the Gynecology Clinic, Department of Gynecology, Poznan University of Medical Sciences (UMP) from the years 2012-2023. <b>Methods:</b> The study involved 4942 patients under 18 years old. Medical records from the years 2012-2023 were analyzed, focusing on the most frequent diagnoses. Statistical analyses were performed using StatSoft STATISTICA PL 10 software, with a significance threshold of <i>p</i> < 0.05. <b>Results:</b> The most frequent diagnosis was pelvic pain syndrome (77.8%), followed by androgenization syndromes (13.2%).
