A member asked:
When is the right time for your child to see a gynecologist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on variables: The answer depends both on age and the available personnel. Most professional societies recommend pelvic exams after the initiation of sexual activity or by the 21st birthday. Whether this is with an adolescent specialist, an interested pediatrician, your family doc, or the local ob/gyn depends a lot on who is available and the interest of the patient. Many chose this point to select an ob/gyn.
