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
Dr. Steven Weissberg answered

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.

Dr Pappas agreed
