Abstract
Pediatrics is usually the most appropriate first line of referral for children with genital problems requiring a specialist opinion. Referral on to gynecology, urology, dermatology or GU medicine for a combined assessment can then take place if considered necessary. Consider seeking advice at an early stage, particularly if there is the slightest concern about sexual abuse. A telephone call and discussion prior to referral is often appreciated in the less straightforward cases.
