[Vaginoscopy--a modern method in pediatric-adolescent gynecology].
Inspection of the vagina is a compulsory part of the examination of sexually mature woman. However, the intact hymen is assumed as a barrier, which could not be surmount without physical or psychic traumatization of a girl at the infant-adolescent age. Fear of hymen traumatization in practice is stronger than fear to miss some gynecological diseases. The necessary instruments as well as the basic indications for vaginoscopy are described. A review is made on the cases admitted in 1987 to the ward of the infant-adolescent gynecology at Institute of Obstetric and Gynecology, in whom vaginoscopy has been performed. The findings and the succeeding therapy are discussed. An inference is made for necessity of knowing and usage of the method as well as for its possibility to establish exact diagnosis and application of adequate therapy.
