Our Areas of Expertise

Our clinical services are organised into four specialized pillars, ensuring that every patient receives targeted, evidence-based management.

Congenital Müllerian Anomalies

Conservative Management & Reconstructive Expertise

We act as the tertiary referral centre for structural anomalies of the female reproductive tract (e.g., Uterine Septum, MRKH). Our management protocol strictly adheres to a “least invasive first” philosophy.

  • Vaginal Agenesis (MRKH Syndrome): In line with international gold standards, we offer a non-surgical first-line approach. Our multidisciplinary Vaginal Dilation Therapy Programme, empowers adolescents to achieve functional vaginas without the risks associated with primary reconstructive surgery.
  • Obstructive Anomalies: Surgical treatment for conditions such as imperforate hymen or vaginal septums.

Differences of Sex Development (DSD)

Multidisciplinary Care at Hong Kong Children’s Hospital

We provide longitudinal care for children with atypical chromosomal, gonadal, or anatomical sex development. Recognizing the complexity of these conditions, our clinics at HKCH operate on a fully integrated Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) model.

  • The Team: We work alongside Paediatric Urologists, Endocrinologists, Geneticists, and Clinical Psychologists.
  • The Goal: Our priority is the long-term quality of life and functional well-being of the child. We advocate for a cautious approach to irreversible interventions, ensuring full patient and family involvement in all decision-making.

Fertility Preservation

Protecting Future Potential

In close collaboration with the Reproductive Medicine Team at CUHK, we provide a safety net for children and adolescents facing medical treatments that may threaten their fertility (e.g., gonadotoxic chemotherapy or radiation).

  • Services: We offer rapid-access risk stratification, family counselling, and coordination of fertility preservation procedures (such as oocyte or ovarian tissue cryopreservation) prior to the commencement of oncological therapy.

General & Medical Adolescent Gynaecology

Non-Surgical Management of Puberty and Menstruation

A significant portion of our service is dedicated to managing common but distressing gynaecological conditions that impact a young person’s daily life. We also hold joint specialist clinics with paediatric endocrinology for elegible patients.
We care for conditions such as:

  • Menstrual Disorders: Heavy menstrual bleeding, dysmenorrhea, and cycle irregularities (including collaboration with haematology for bleeding disorders, and endocrinology for diseases of metabolism).
  • Pubertal Medicine: Evaluation of delayed, precocious puberty and primary ovarian insufficiency.
  • Vulval Health: Management of paediatric vulvovaginitis, lichen sclerosus, and dermatological concerns.

Referral Information

We accept referrals from paediatricians, general practitioners, and other specialists for patients with complex congenital, developmental, or gynaecological needs.
