Key Diagnostic & Treatments
- Female Development Assessment Diagnosis involves a Tanner Staging Assessment (physical exam to track breast and pubic hair development) and a review of growth charts. If concerns arise, an Ultrasound may be used to assess the reproductive organs. This ensures timely identification of precocious (early) or delayed puberty. The outcome is specialized counseling and, if needed, targeted hormonal support.
- Hormonal & Menstrual Health Evaluation begins with a detailed Menstrual History Log and a physical exam. For Irregular Periods or suspected PCOS, Hormonal Blood Panels are crucial, checking levels of androgens, FSH, LH, and thyroid hormones. Ultrasound Imaging is used to check for structural causes like cysts or fibroids, and to look for classic signs of PCOS. Treatment is customized, often utilizing lifestyle counseling and low-dose hormonal therapy to regulate cycles.
- Heavy or Painful Periods Diagnosis focuses on identifying the root cause through blood tests (checking for anemia or clotting issues) and Ultrasound to rule out structural pathology. Management includes anti-inflammatory medications, hormonal treatments (e.g., birth control pills) to lighten flow and reduce pain, and nutritional counseling.
FAQs
We offer assessments for girls from late childhood through adolescence (typically ages 8 to 18) who may have concerns about the timing or progression of their puberty.
Some irregularity is normal in the first year or two after a girl starts her period. However, periods that are severely heavy, extremely painful, or consistently absent for three or more months should be evaluated immediately to rule out conditions like PCOS.
Signs can include irregular or absent periods, excess hair growth (hirsutism), acne that resists standard treatment, and weight gain. Early diagnosis is key for successful management.
If over-the-counter pain relievers aren’t enough, we look for underlying issues like endometriosis or high hormone levels. Treatment often involves hormonal therapy (like birth control) which significantly reduces pain by regulating hormone fluctuations.
