A member asked:
If i'm 19 years old and sexually active can i go to a gynecologist and get a papsmere? i've been told i'm too young, why?

Yes: If you are sexually active, you are not too young to be checked by gynecologist at all. It's best to be abstinence though. Take care.

Yes and not 2 young: If you're sexually active a GYN is a great doc to check in with. In addition to a Pap test, they are a great resource for safe sex procedures. Finally, a good opportunity to learn more about your body.
