E158: Pediatric & Adolescent Gynecology Explained with Dr. Camille Imbo

Welcome to the Get Healthy Tampa Bay Podcast with Dr. Kerry Reller! This week, I am joined by Dr. Camille Imbo, a pediatric and adolescent gynecologist and founder of SPARC Gynecology. In this episode, we explore what pediatric gynecology is, why it matters, and when children and teens should see a specialist. Dr. Imbo shares insights on common concerns like painful or irregular periods, PCOS in adolescents, early puberty, and medical trauma—along with how early, compassionate care can prevent years of missed diagnoses and unnecessary suffering.00:00 – Welcome & introduction00:52 – What is pediatric & adolescent gynecology?02:32 – Why kids and teens fall between pediatrics and OB-GYN03:56 – Surgical issues in young patients (cysts, torsion, anatomy differences)05:01 – When should a child first see a gynecologist?07:06 – What happens when symptoms are dismissed as “normal”08:24 – Trauma-informed care & creating a safe first visit12:03 – Early puberty and why it’s happening more often13:18 – Most common conditions Dr. Imbo treats16:24 – PCOS in teens: what it is and how diagnosis differsConnect with Dr. RellerPodcast website: https://gethealthytbpodcast.buzzsprou... LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kerryrellermd/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ClearwaterFamilyMedicineInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/clearwaterfamilymedicine/Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kerryrellermdClearwater Family Medicine and Allergy website: https://sites.google.com/view/clearwa...Podcast: https://gethealthytbpodcast.buzzsprou...Subscribe to the Get Healthy Tampa Bay Podcast on Apple podcasts, Spotify, Amazon music, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Pandora.
