„Is everything normal with me?“
Trained pediatric and adolescent gynecologists are also the right people to talk to if adolescents have questions about their own development or sexuality. Many concerns and problems can already be solved in a conversation.

Unfortunately, sexual cyberbullying is becoming more and more common. Youth and children’s gynecologists as well as the möwe child protection centers and Saferinternet.at offer support to those affected, which is very important in such cases of need.

Especially when clarifying a suspicion of sexual violence, well-founded experience in child and adolescent gynecology is necessary. Only in this way can it be prevented that girls need to be reexamined several times after an experience of abuse due to ambiguities and thus become even more traumatized. Especially in this complex and sensitive area, a good network of experts from related disciplines is essential.
