title: [Child and adolescent gynecology. Introduction to the focal topic 'Child and adolescent gynecology'].
abstract: Valuable knowledge from the subspecialty of child and adolescent gynecology is of considerable importance for the clinically active pediatrician and gynecologist. Focal topics such as sexual violence to children and young adults, undesired pregnancies and pregnancy termination should not only be made known in the media, but also to specialists, so that successful prevention and treatment can be carried out. Furthermore, endocrinological problems and genital malformations in adolescence should be detectable and treatable.
