Find out now…

Lotsa girls are wary of the gyno. But Dr. Endrika Hinton, a gynecologist at Greater Baltimore Medical Center, says, “You can see a gynecologist any time you’re having problems, but go on a routine basis starting at age 16. This doesn’t mean you have to have a pelvic exam, especially if you are not sexually active.”

So do you need to go? If you answer yes to one or more of these questions, it’s time to make an appointment.


Are you having sex or thinking about it?

Are you over 16 and don’t have your period?

Is your period preventing you from doing what you want to do (super-painful, too heavy, etc.)?

Have you missed your period for more than four months in a row?

Do you have symptoms that could mean a vaginal infection (itching, off-color discharge, odor, etc.)?

Have stuff you want to discuss with a gyno?

MOD MOD MOD ok so my friend just got her period and i am really jealous and deressed i thought i would be first. How can i stop being sad and jealous. Also i know you cant really tell for sure but so you think i am going to get my period soon? I have had boobs for 2 years hair in all the plces for at least 2 years and discharge for over a year. I have cramps a back ache a lot of zits mood swings and craving. Do you think i am close to my period how close. Im almost 4 and weigh around 87-90 pounds is that enough. I have very smakk clums of brown stuff (blood maybe) with dried up flakes. Of bloodish stuff with a couple tiny but noticeable red spots. Os that spotting? Please answer! Pleas erase everything up to here. Thanks




Hey girlie, to stop being jealous and depressed just remember that people grow and mature at different times and no one can control when and how fast they mature. You have to accept that and be patient. It sounds like your period is coming soon.

Hey girl, it's not necessarily a good idea. That's a big thing and something many young adults aren't even ready for. It's definitely better to abstain at this point, especially while your bod is growing.

MOD MOD MOD!!!!
I was wondering if you dont go to the gynecologist for a pelvic exam them what do you go for? Also what is the difference between your regular doctor and a gynecologist?

 

Hey girlie, the gynecologist focuses on your private area. While a regular doctor can answer standard questions, a gynecologist has the tools to look closer at things. The main reason for going is a pelvic exam, but if you have a problem that doesn't require one you could have a visit without one.

Heyyy MOD
I just Started Having Dischard I told my Mom And And my Aunt/God mother. Should I tell my Dad???




Lol most dads get kind of grossed out when it comes to period talk, so I would stick to discussing it with female fam members.
