Adolescent sexuality: a gynecologist's viewpoint

Adolescent sexuality is affecting a younger age group each year. Diseases and conditions traditionally seen by the gynecologist are now found in both sexes in an age group seen in most cases only by the pediatrician. An awareness of these problems, a willingness to search out sexual involvement, and a close working relationship between the pediatrician and the gynecologist can do much to stem the rising tide of teen-age pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.
