A subject with sometimes patchy teaching throughout training, in this current episode of the Primary Care Knowledge Boost Podcast, Drs Lisa and Sara speak to Dr Uma Marthi (GP with a Special Interest in Gynaecology) to discuss some common gynaecological presentations in young girls up to teenage years.
She takes us through her approach to vaginal bleeding in neonates, vaginal itch in toddlers, breast development and vaginal discharge in teenagers.
