Recurrent abdominal pain represents one of the most frequent syndrome met in pediatrics pathology at all ages, sometimes raising difficulties in establishing the diagnosis. One of the most frequent causes of recurrent abdominal pain is the genital disease at young girls. A retrospective study realized on a 10,000 girls lot, consulted in pediatrics offices from St. Spiridon Hospital of Iasi, between 1999-2001, emphasized the presence of recurrent abdominal pain and genital pathology at 300 young girls, that is 25% of the cases with genital diseases and 12% of the cases recurrent abdominal pain. Genital pathology means represented by: dysmenorrhea in 36% of cases, pelvic inflammatory disease in 26.67% of cases, functional ovarian cyst in 6% of cases, ovarian tumors in 0.33% of cases, ectopic pregnancy in 0.33% of cases, vulvovaginitis in 27.67% of cases. The most affected age was 13-16. The study of those diseases related to a genital pain diagnosed as responsible, ethiologically, for the recurrent painful abdomen, confirmed the existence of a very tight correlation between the genital pathology and the general one.
