Background:Adolescence (10 19years) is a pivotal phase characterized by rapid hormonal and physiological changes that predispose girls to a wide spectrum of gynaecological disorders. The pattern of morbidity is shifting, with lifestyle-related conditions emerging alongside traditional menstrual abnormalities.
Aim: To evaluate the clinical spectrum and emerging trends of gynaecological disorders among adolescents attending a tertiary care hospital in northern India.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 308 adolescent girls aged 10 19 years presenting with gynaecological complaints to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Park Hospital, Faridabad, from January 2024 to June 2025. Data on menstrual, clinical, and biochemical profiles were analysed. Disorders were categorized into menstrual abnormalities, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), infections, ovarian cysts/tumours, and congenital anomalies. Associations with age and BMI were assessed using the chi-square test.
