Adolescence : N’Joy with great care

Home » BLOG » Adolescence : N’Joy with great care

By Dr. Girija Wagh • July 22, 2017 • No Comments

  1. Male/ Female: Adolescence age Or Teenage(13 to 19) Or Period from puberty to legal adulthood

The Adolescence is not only to the endurer but also to the parents and the immediate family.
Challenges in understanding the transitions and accepting them in the right perspective.

Non scientific terms Gen-X, Gen-Y and Gen-Z are used to express the current impatient, tech savvy, smart generation. Being the generation of such evolution, many challenges exist and the generation gaps are widening between the parents and the offsprings.

The transitional phase involves the most primary change of adulthood. Gender differentiation, gender awareness and expression is a natural part of it.

They have hormonal changes at the base of it. Special tropic hormones stimulate the hypothalamus in the brain and the awakening of adolescence happens. This leads to a cascade of hormonal changes in boys as well as girls leading to the typical bodily changes such as increase in height, change in the body contours and development of certain bodily parts.

2. Stabilisation and the right time

These hormones, however have erratic levels which stabilise around the completion of the teen age. Such erratic surges can be stabilised with proper nutrition, physical activity and mind modulation. But if these are not stabilised, several mood changes, anger and sadness in spurts may occur.

Right time is when your body and soul stabilises completely. Time when you and your partner, both are in a position to shoulder the responsibilities towards each other, financially, mentally and physically.

3. Exposure to internet, Videos, Chat rooms have reached bedrooms

Internet has exposed this generation to many eventualities at a very tender age when other things like good career start, friendship, sport, hobbies, good health and confident personality are more important.

Chat rooms, videos have directly taken the younger generation to the bedrooms and the indwelling sexuality where they would have entered when they are able to take it.

What does this ‘able to take it’ mean ? You are not supposed to have sex ?
Of course you are but at the right time(Ref above).

With nuclear families and a self focused existence, everyone says ‘Ma life, Ma ways’.
Absolutely why not, but always at the right time(Ref above).

Sexual act is a beautiful expression of love and not an experiment. And definitely not a casual or forced act.

My generation was told about this by either a knowledgeable aunt or a biology teacher or the biology book of standard 8th.

We felt definitely empowered by the knowledge and knew exactly when and where “not” to indulge and how to protect ourselves. It also could be that, we had many other interests such as studies, sports, dance, music and a huge lot of skills to be mastered and induced into.

4. Career : This is the time you are pursuing your academics and preparing yourself to pick your first career opportunity and make your mark in the professional world.

This is a time when you need to keep a balance.

5. Parents trying to cope up with the young generation

Today with an all working family model and a faster moving pace, younger ones are growing and maturing swiftly.

Parents are not coping up with the same rate as their wards are growing with. The digital media is making matters worse. The parents, as well as the teenagers, are in conflict as to whether they are handling a mature situation.

Also as a parent, doctor, I am much exposed to this growing generation and their behavioral patterns. The generation has become unisex generation and that is welcome in some contexts.

Too much “unrestricted” freedom due to education and travel is observed, not being handled properly. Easy access to everything is making us impatient, with lack of determination and focus, resulting into emotional fragility. We get distracted, depressed and dejected faster.

As a doctor, I am much at the receiving end of young boys and girls getting into the aftermath of this situation both physically and psychologically. Their young bodies bear the brunt of this menace and souls wear the scars. They are scared to displease the opposite partner, fear being rejected by the family and are doubtful about the doctor being judgemental.

It’s nice to have friends from the opposite sex as it helps in better communication skills , understanding of emotional sharing and builds up a good herd culture and a great foundation for future adulthood based on strong life values.

6. Body, mind is delicate and vulnerable. You are maturing. And growing.

Technically speaking in medical terms :
You have a delicate physique, especially during teenage. The hormonal maturation has just started and is not yet complete and therefore the protective immune system is incapable of acting as a shield.

For girls, the genital tract virtually is open into the peritoneal cavity and therefore can cause serious consequences. Unwanted pregnancies have to be lead into abortions and if the pregnancy, unfortunately, happens in the fallopian tube? (instead of the womb), you may need laparotomy or a laparoscopy which is major surgery compared to a medical termination of pregnancy. Parent’s consent is required before undertaking such high-risk surgeries.

This can scar the reproductive tract challenging the future possibilities of childbearing and the scars on the mind are irreparable.

Sex also leads to transmission of serious infections which majority of the youngsters are not protected against. The common microbial infections such as the HIV-AIDs, Hepatitis gonorrhoea, chlamydia etc can be acquired through such acts. These organisms are much smaller than the man’s sperms and easily gain access causing infections which are many a time unnoticed but can compromise one’s reproductive capacity. They can also cause a constant pain, disability which can affect ones daily living.

7. Counselling and Consultation :

All these can be definitely addressed through a “non-judgemental” counseling and consultation.

One can consider individual or if necessary couple counseling with a gynecologist and get proper guidance about intimacy and physical relationships. It’s OK to share your feelings and get pro-active counseling instead of seeing a doctor only when you enter into a situation.

It’s important that the youth gets proper handholding and directions to handle their freedom, indulgences and their consequences.

8. Stay Smart, Stay informed.

We started consulting Dr Girija only in the third trimester of my pregnancy as we had to move cities at the time. Naturally, we were a little anxious about being able to find a good doctor. The first consultation itself revealed the Dr to be extremely thorough and meticulous - based on the way she asked us various questions on my case history. We knew we were in safe hands right then. Dr Girija and her assistant Dr Sonal explain various medical points in detail and in layman terms so that we are well informed.The Doctor's personalized approach made us feel like we were being treated by someone who has known us for ages and who really cares about us. Never once did we feel like just another number or another patient. Dr. Girija has a very positive approach and ensures you leave every meeting in high spirits and with increased confidence. A big thank you to Dr Girija and Dr Sonal for all the hand holding during my pregnancy journey and ensuring I had a safe delivery.

Girija madam is an amazing doctor. She has so much of experience and she is so loving which makes every interaction with her comfortable. She always gives full time and explains the steps which should be taken as part of her treatment and gives confidence. She shares many diet tips and other points so that medicines can be avoided as much as possible. She made my pregnancy journey very easy and smooth. I highly recommend Girija madam for gynec and pregnancy related things.

Dr. Girija is not only an exceptional surgeon but a very nice person. She performed a hysterectomy on my mother and right from the OPD to the surgery, she kept us well informed and made us so comfortable that the whole process went through like a breeze. My mom also became friends with her and they chat post the surgery every now and then. God bless such exceptional doctors!! Thank you Ma'am.

There are two special people in everyone's life who are next to God ,one is the mother and other is Doctor Who guides like a mother through the journey of pregnancy. You have been that second most important person in my babies life. Thank you mam for all the effort you put in and all the advice that you give into it to make it a normal delivery . You kept us updated about all the progress and test we have done during the whole pregnancy period. The most beautiful part of the delivery was when you kept the baby over mother to feel the warmth ( special touch), that moment was the most special moment of my life.

Was suffering from a chronic disease due to which had many unsuccessful pregnancies. Many senior doctors who we reached out were not competent enough to treat and sustain pregnancy and deliver baby. We finally got to meet Girija mam. She took all precautions to ensure that pregnancy progressed very well and gave us the life's most beautiful gift for which we waited for a long long time. Girija mam not just takes good care of her patients by taking all medical precautions but she also keeps filling in positive thoughts throughout pregnancy. She takes care of her every patient like a mother. For us she is second to god as my case very complicated and she handled very well pre and post delivery complications. She not just saved our baby she also saved me and I'm very thankful to her.

Going through childbirth is a mix of immense pain followed by immense happiness for both the parents. Its not only mother who is under pressure or tense. Specially when there is history involved. In this journey, the presence of a wonderful doctor is simply priceless. A doctor with a lovely, caring and constructive heart is cherry on the icing. She is a great doctor, really does her best to rule out all options before anything major is assumed. I feel Medicines are just instrument to heal a person, but the comforting words of a doctor do a great job in healing one’s spirit. Without a doctor like you, We couldn’t have sailed through the rough days!!! Thank you. PS: We both meant each and every word stated above from the bottom of out heart.

Thanks doctor, for comforting me and taking away all my stress . Thank you so much for the difference you make in the lives of your patients! Your kindness, sincere caring, and concern make everything better and are a great encouragement. Every day of my life will be better because of you. Thank you is not nearly enough. You take the time to listen and to make your patients feel valued and respected, treating others as you would want to be treated. Before saying that you are an extraordinary doctor, I want to tell you that you are an extraordinary human being.
