Expert Care for Children & Teens
At Cohen Medical Practice, our gynecology team isn’t just experienced—they’re specially trained to care for young patients, from childhood through adolescence. It’s best for teens to have their first adolescence gynecology visit between 13 and 15, but younger patients (as early as 11) can see a pediatric gynecologist for concerns like puberty changes, painful periods, sexual health, or birth control options. No matter the age, we’re here to provide expert, compassionate care in a way that feels comfortable and supportive.
Conditions We Treat
A child or teen’s gynecology visit is a safe space to ask questions and get answers about their reproductive health. Whether it’s irregular periods, puberty concerns, or other issues, we’re here to help.
Some common reasons for a visit include:
- Period problems
- Puberty starting too early or too late
- Breast health concerns
- Ovarian cysts
- Vaginal irritation, discharge, or infections (vaginitis)
- Birth control options and family planning
- STI testing and treatment
- Transgender healthcare and support
Parents might also have concerns about hormones or thyroid issues affecting development. Whatever the reason, our pediatric OBGYN provides expert care in a way that’s clear, supportive, and easy to understand.
Privacy Matters in Teen Gynecology
For many teens, privacy is a big deal when it comes to gynecological care. Unless there’s a safety concern, what they discuss with their doctor stays between them. This helps build trust, making it easier for them to ask questions and get the care they need.
Teens may not always feel comfortable sharing everything with their parents, but having an adolescent gynecologist they trust can make all the difference. At the same time, open communication at home is important too. Taking the time to listen, ask questions, and understand what’s on your child’s mind can help strengthen that trust—so they know they have support both in and outside the doctor’s office.
