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.

Pelvic exam is not required to intiiate birth control. Pelvic exam at 19 years old, depending on medical history. Pap testing beginning no later than age 21.
