I would say make the first GYN appointment after her first period and then see what the doc says from then on.  Kind of like the dentist, when the first tooth comes in, they like to see them.

You are supposed to go in when you are 18 or sexually active-whichever comes first.\n\nPAP smears check for cervical cancer and anything else that may be irregular down in that area.  \n\nI suggest you make an appointment as soon as you can.  The whole ordeal is only once a year and not that long at all.

now a-days it's normal. My younger sis and I started @ a younger age than most she was 7 years old and I was 8 also and were 17 and 18 now. It's compleatly normal, we've even went to a doctor to make sure. If you think something is wrong with you go see a gynacoligist, they'll tell you. and answer any of your questions.

first of all no question regarding your body is stupid. you should become attuned to your own body at a young age. you will need to know as you age. now if this is your first pelvic exam what you can expect is this: you will be asked to remove all of your clothing and put on a gown open in the front and a sheet to cover up with. then the doctor will come in with a nurse put your feet in the stirrups and have you slide all the way down til you are almost hanging off the table. he will then tell you to open your legs and will let you know he is going to touch you. you will feel his finger then he will insert the speculum. he will then quickly take a sample of tissue from your vaginal wall and cervix. looking also to make sure everything looks normal. then he will remove the speculum and then will insert one or two fingers into your vagina and press on your belly with his other hand. hence the term bi-manual. meaning two hands. then he will remove them and cover you and have you push yourself back up on the table and may or may not do a breast exam. i hope this answers your question. and ask questions if you have any, be proactive about your bady and health. no matter how silly you think it may be. the only stupid question is the one you never ask.

The name is an OBGYN, or Gynecologist, it is important if you are sexually active or over 40 to see one every single year.  Some Gynecologists will suggest only every second year if you are still young and not sexually active.  Doing it every year, they can keep an eye on things, and do yearly tests to get early detection on cancers.  Good Luck, and your English is coming along beautifully! :)

Hi there. Getting examined by a Gynecologist is not necessary at your age (teen, right?) yet, unless you are sexually active. If you are not sexually active, you don't need to just yet. When you're a bit older and decide for yourself to become sexually active, then you'll have to start going to the Gynecologist and getting examined once a year.\n\nI do hope that you haven't engaged in any sexual activity though. Don't be in such a hurry. Enjoy your teenage years, even if it's not so enjoyable sometimes. A teenager's life is hard enough as it is without adding sex into it.

There are always risks, whatever your age.  But think: women are having healthy babies in their 40s these days - and even later.  Talk to your doctor.

First off, don't be in a rush! It will happen when it does. It usually can be any where from 8 to 16. It may be exciting at first because to you it means that you are growing up, but later on you'll see it as a curse when you have to go through the motions. You don't always know when it comes everyone does not get the symptoms, ie  back pain nausea abdominal pain. You may see spots of blood when you do the first time and it may not happen again for another month or so or even a year, until it is ready. But after you turn 15 or 16 and still none then it is time for your mom to take you to the doctor to get test done. Don't let this scare you because you may just be a late bloomer.

Gynecology is a portion of the speciality of OBSTETRICS & GYNECOLGY.  Within that area are general OB/GYN's, Gyn Oncologists (treat malignancies of the female reproductive organs), Perinatologists (High risk pregnancies), Reproductive endocrinologists (infertility) and Urogynecologists (deal with pelvic prolapse and incontinence problems).  All have to complete 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school, 4 years of Internship and Residency, then 2-3 years of fellowship if you sub-specialize.\n\nThis is a huge committment of time and money and effort.  The rewards are also significant.  If you finish all this schooling and training you can anticipate starting salary of $150,000 and average income of $250,000 (some more, some less depending on area of the country, urban/rural, solo or group).  \n\nIf you limit your practice to GYN only, you will earn less but you won't have to deal with on-call deliveries in the middle of the night.

If you have had alot of sexual intercourse recently then that is normal. if the pain continues for a few days or you haven't had alot of sexual intercourse recently, then you should go see a gynecologist.

Gynecologists are professional, male or female. If it is your first time, they should tell you what they are going to do before they do it and usually explain why this needs to be done. They are very gentle. The most important thing to remember when going for a vaginal exam is to relax. If you do not relax then it will hurt but if you relax, it is nothing to be afraid of. Your GYN can be of great help to you and educate you on matters that may help the fear that you have. Trust them and be honest with them.\n\nAs far as having sex, if you are scared or not ready then the time is not right for you. There is a plenty of time and no need to rush yourself. Do not let anyone push you into anything that you are not ready for.
