Is there a way to get birth control without pelvic exam?

Yes. : Frequently a doctor doesn't need to do a pelvic exam before prescribing the pill. Occasionally it is important. Sometimes an ultrasound can be substituted instead of an exam.

Depends on variables: There are many over the counter products that need no exam or prescription. There is also good reason for pelvic exam and disease screening in anyone that is sexually active. The issue should be discussed with the office staff of the location you use.

Depends on the docto: If you are not having pain, have regular periods, then you may not 'need' to have a pelvic exam in my opinion. Screening for sexually transmitted infections (gonorrhea/chlamydia) is usually recommended for young, sexually active women, but this could be done with a urine sample. Really, it will depend on the doctors personal opinion and preference.
