WashU Ob/Gyn > Patient Information > Pediatric, Adolescent & Young Adult Gynecology
We are the St. Louis region’s only practice dedicated to the special needs of pediatric, adolescent and young adult gynecology patients.
We provide professional care that you can trust to meet the unique medical and surgical gynecologic needs of infants, children, teens and young adults. While most of our patients are referred in from the greater St. Louis area, it is not unusual for a family to travel hundreds of miles for our specialized care.

About gynecologic care for infants and children
Children are generally cared for by their pediatrician or family physician; however, your pediatrician may contact a pediatric gynecologist to assist with difficult or challenging medical conditions. Common reasons children are seen by pediatric gynecologists include vulvar and vagina irritation that will not improve despite hygiene and medications, congenital anomalies of the genitalia, labial adhesions, lichen sclerosus, pelvic masses, and early signs of puberty (breast development) or vaginal bleeding.
