A member asked:

I'm 19 and have never been to a gynecologist. do i have to go now?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Annual exam: Yes. You should begin your annual visits now, especially if you are sexually active. This is good preventative medicine, just as you would visit your dentist once a year.

A member asked:

16, can't see a gynecologist. Hard, white bump underneath the clithood on the actual clit. It hurts when pressure is applied. Not sexually active. Had it for a long time now. I'm not sure what it is. It looks like a pimple is masturbation causing it?
