c  In the adolescent population, girls more commonly suffer some type of menstrual disorder, specifically dysmenorrhea (painful periods) or irregular menstruation.

Gynaecological infections can be seen in any age group even as early as infancy but tend to be greater in the pre-school to early school-age girls.  Those with menstrual disorders tend to experience symptoms in the early teen years. 

According to Dr Naglaa Rizk, Consultant, Gynaecologist, Al Zahra Hospital, Dubai, UAE, “The primary key to treating gynaecological infections is through prevention. Most infections are caused by common bacteria found on the hands and simple hygienic measure that will reduce the incidence of infection in young adolescents.  However, since recurrent gynaecological infections may be a sign of early childhood diabetes, it should never be overlooked.” 

Dr Rizk will be speaking about the importance of prevention against paediatric gynaecological conditions at the Obs-Gyne Exhibition and Congress organised by Informa Life Sciences Exhibitions which will take place from the 29-31 March 2015 at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre.
