Abstract
Objectives: The main objective is to study gynecological and obstetrical emergencies among adolescents admitted to the emergency room in our department.
Methods: At the Farhat Hached University Hospital in Sousse's Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, we carried out a retrospective study. Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of adolescents who consulted over a period of 12 months were described.
Results: We recorded 78 emergencies during the study period, representing a frequency of 0.39 %. Gynecological and obstetrical emergencies in adolescents are dominated by abdominal-pelvic pain (36 %), followed by pregnancy diagnoses (16.7 %), and dysmenorrhea in 10 % of cases. Admission decisions were made in only 6.4 % of cases.
Conclusions: Advances in adolescent gynecology highlight the importance of specialized care for this population, crucial for preventive healthcare. Evaluation and management rely on recognizing clinical challenges and understanding specific issues.
