The first part will discuss “typical” presentations, i.e., adolescents presenting with pelvic and/or menstrual pain. The second part will cover “atypical” presentations, e.g., adolescents presenting with gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, neurological, or other systemic complaints. This approach is based on my 30 years of experience in general pediatric private practice in an urban setting. My patients have taught me much over the years and have helped me refine my approach to diagnosis and management.\nAccess this chapter\nTax calculation will be finalised at checkout\nPurchases are for personal use only\nSimilar content being viewed by others\nReferences\nAmerican College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
