A member asked:

At what age should i go to the gynecologist, i'm not sexually active.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends on check-ups: A girl sees her Pediatrician yearly, who looks at the girl's breasts, vaginal/vulval area, and anus, to make sure the girl is developing normally. As she goes through puberty, annual check-ups continue... but if she for whatever reason is NOT getting her breasts, vaginal/vulval area, and anus looked at, then she should ask her doctor to look. If still getting no exam, then see an Ob-Gyn doctor.
