Disorders of Female Reproductive Tract Development

Disorders in the development of the female reproductive system are changes that occur during the formation of the internal or external genital organs before birth, and they include variations in their structure, position, or presence.

How they show up: They may be noticed from childhood or adolescence, for example with absent or delayed menstruation, or detected on tests done for other reasons.

When to see a doctor? It is reasonable to seek care when puberty does not progress as expected, menstrual cycles are absent, or there are questions about genital development.

Which specialist treats it? The OB-GYN is the right provider to study these developmental disorders; the general practitioner can guide the first visit and, depending on the case, other specialties may collaborate. Seeking care in time allows the diagnosis to be clarified with the appropriate evaluation.
