A member asked:
Should a 17 year old virgin go to the gynecologist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not Necessarily: Unless there are specific issues that need to be addressed by a gynecologist, it is reasonable to seek routine care through your pediatrician or family doctor. That doctor can refer you for appropriate care if necessary. Some pediatric practices specialize in young women in this age group and may be able to address all of her health needs in one setting.
