Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology

At The University of Kansas Health System, our board-certified physicians provide specialized pediatric and adolescent gynecology care from birth until age 21. As part of the region’s premier academic medical center, they offer the most advanced testing and treatments for reproductive health in young women and girls.

Our staff is committed to ensuring that you feel well cared for in a warm, private, and inviting environment. We are sensitive to your needs and focused on providing you with outstanding, whole-person care.

Young women and girls have special gynecology needs that differ from those of adults. A pediatric gynecologist is experienced in treating the unique gynecology problems of children and adolescents. These specialists are trained in obstetrics and gynecology and offer an in-depth level of knowledge and expertise for conditions affecting the female reproductive system. Issues like growth and development, sexual health, pregnancy prevention and menstrual disorders and others can be addressed by a pediatric gynecologist. At The University of Kansas Health System, our board-certified physicians are qualified to evaluate and treat young girls and women with these problems.
