The HUG Gynecology Division has specific expertise in pediatric and adolescent gynecological treatment. A specialized and multidisciplinary medical team receives girls and adolescents at an office dedicated to them. It receives over 1,500 patients per year.

The pediatric or adolescent gynecology consultation is a special opportunity to change the relationship the girl or adolescent has with her body and her genitals. This first-line consultation also allows for screening, education and prevention (pregnancy, STDs). 

The adolescent gynecological consultation: especially for you

  • Are my genitals normal?
  • Why am I in a bad mood before and during my period? Why does it hurt?
  • I’m 14 years old and I haven’t had my period yet. Is it normal?
  • I have vaginal discharge.
  • My breasts are not the same. Is it normal?
  • I am 15 years old and I have a boyfriend. I would like the pill.
  • What are sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)?
  • My period is late. I think I’m pregnant

La Consultation de gynécologie pédiatrique et de l’adolescence de CASAA est reconnue par la Fédération internationale de gynécologie infantile et juvénile comme centre de formation de la discipline.

Sur les treize centres européens accrédités, il est le seul en Suisse. Cette reconnaissance repose notamment sur une équipe composée de deux gynécologues et d’une pédiatre, toutes au bénéfice d’un fellowship en gynécologie pédiatrique, des activités de recherche et d’enseignement ainsi que sur la collaboration entre toutes les spécialités de l’Hôpital des enfants et du Service de gynécologie.
