The Paediatric and Adolescent Gynaecology team focused on the menstrual disorder of adolescent, HPV vaccination in adolescent and Polycystic ovarian syndrome in teenage girls.
Menstrual Disorder of Adolescent
Prevalence of menstrual problem is high among Chinese girls. Chung reviewed the presentation and outcomes of 577 aged 14-19 years old adolescent. 47% presented with menorrhagia, prolonged menstruation, and short menstrual cycles; 38% had secondary or oligo-amenorrhoea, 12% had dysmenorrhoea, and 3% had primary amenorrhoea. 24% of these patients had abnormal menstrual cycles 4 years later. Long cycle, diagnosis of polycystic ovarian syndrome at first consultation, and a current body mass index of 23 kg/m2 or higher were statistically associated with persistent long cycle length (Chung et al HKMJ 2011). The prevalence of menstrual symptom and dysmenorrhoea increased with gynaecological age and it may adversely affect their education and daily activity; 1 in 8 girls reported had been absent from school whilst only 6.4% had sought medical care because of menstrual problem. Our study indicated that medical seeking behavior depends on opinion of family members, severity of dysmenorrhoea and anxiety about embarrassing question (Chan et al HKMJ 2009).
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Polycystic ovarian syndrome was diagnosed in 16% of a cohort in Hong Kong Chinese Adolescent (Chung et al HKMJ 2011). One of our research looked at the treatment effects between medroxyprogesterone acetate and Diane-35. Diane -35 was found to significantly decrease acne score (p<0.003) and LH/FSH ratio (p<0.001) (Chung et al J Pediatr Adolesc Gynecol 2014).
Human Papilloma Virus Vaccination in Adolescent
The acceptance rate of HPV vaccination by their daughters of Chinese women statistically significant improved by reading information pamphlet (p<0.001) (Chan et al J Adolesc Health 2007). While acceptance rate of HPV vaccination by adolescent girls and knowledge score were also significant improved by reading information pamphlet (p<0.001) (Chan et al al J Pediatr Adolesc Gynecol 2009).
