[Clinical results of pediatric gynecologic consultation at the Heidelberg University Gynecologic Clinic].
During the research period from January 1984 through June 1991 649 patients between the age of 0 and 16 were examined. Divided into 13 diagnostic groups the vulvovaginitis occurred most frequently with 30.6%. The predominant causal agents were E. coli (18.1%) and streptococci B (11.5%). Almost 24% did not show any agents. Aside from malformations of the genitals (6%), the genital bleedings (8.3%), genital tumours (2.7%), the search for anticonceptives (7.5%), examinations by specialists (8.1%) and borderline surgical problems, cycle disorders (14.7%) were most frequent. Among the cycle disorders dysmenorrhea and oligomenorrhea were predominant. The hormonal inhibition of growth was also checked very carefully. Thus the necessity of well-aimed training of children's gynaecology becomes dear. Our results stress the importance of an intensive disciplinary contact between gynaecologists who are interested in pediatrics and pediatricians.
