Abstract:
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is used to treat many chronic and acute malignant and nonmalignant conditions. We review hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and its effect on the gynecologic health of pediatric and adolescent patients, including pretransplantation evaluation, contraception, menstrual suppression, sexual health, fertility, primary ovarian insufficiency, and graft vs host disease. Comprehensive and team-based care provides optimal anticipatory counseling, evaluation, and management of acute and ongoing gynecologic issues.
