What you'll learn in this expert session

Among adolescent girls, periods are often problematic—whether they are too heavy, too frequent, too painful, or too infrequent. In this presentation, Professor Sonia Grover, a General Gynaecologist and Pain Medicine Specialist, examines the young woman presenting with irregular periods and how she can be best assessed, investigated, and managed. She particularly focuses on Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), exploring its prevalence and relevance in this age group and addressing the important question: Should we be diagnosing PCOS in adolescents?
