A member asked:

What age should a girl have first pelvic exam?

6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Depends: If there are problems, a girl of any age could have a pelvic exam. If there are none, by 21 years old every woman should have an exam. Keep in mind, a pelvic exam doesn't make a girl not a virgin. We do as minimal exam as possible.
