description In pediatric and adolescent gynecology we encounter a number of diseases that occur solely during a specific phase of physical development. The diseases need some experience in the field, as well as an accurate diagnosis and are therefore often diagnosed somewhat late. The separation and traction technique is a painless method of inspecting the child’s genitals. It is also effective and easy to perform. In contrast to a routine investigation in adults, very specific diagnostic questions require the insertion of a speculum, vaginoscopy, taking swabs for analysis, ultrasound investigations, or blood sampling in children. A number of diseases that occur frequently in prepubertal girls will be discussed. The etiology, clinical characteristics, treatment and prognosis of the following diseases will be addressed in detail: vulvovaginitis, lichen sclerosus, labial adhesions, ovarian torsion, abnormal uterine bleeding, uterine fibroids, and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.
