[Gynecologic disorders in the prevention of juvenile diabetes]

Repeated gynecological affections have been detected in 26 out of 30 diabetic children. Therefore, it is important to do gynecological examinations in diabetic children. In addition, during a systematic check out, an impaired glucose tolerance has been found in 7 out of 18 children who presented inflammatory and itching gynecological affections. These findings emphasize the importance of systematical gynecological examination in childhood and adolescence in preventive medicine.
