A member asked:
At what age should i receive my first pelvic exam?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
21: Previous guidelines recommended that every woman have a pelvic exam by the age of 21 or 3 years after the onset of sexual activity. However, newer recommendations omit the 3-year rule and simply state that women should have their exam by age 21.

Pelvic exam: First pelvic exam should either come with first pap smear (21), or with any other reason (ie, wanting birth control, pills, or not having periods).
