If i take 16 year old to gyno and they give her a exam because she do have really bad pelvic pain could i be present during the exam with her?

No, it's best not to: An evaluation of a teenager is better and more accurate if there is no parent in the room during the exam. If the parent demands to stay in the room, the evaluation is less than optimal. That's just how life is. Bad pelvic pain needs to be checked out, and a teen should see her pediatrician first. The pediatrician can refer to an ob-gyn doctor who is good with teens. Endometriosis can be a cause.
