Do you need to see a gynecologist?

Check these out, too...

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?

what do they do to you when you visit a gynecologist?

Hey girlie, they ask you questions and exam your lower region.

I'm almost 12 and I haven't gotten my period yet. I am a 32 B bra size and my mom says I've been moody. I get bad cramps. Is this a sign that my period is coming?

Hey girlie, those are all signs of your period coming. Other symptoms are discharge and tender breast.

my mom thinks i am close to puberty because i have moody and now i do to i am to but my next birtday will be my tenth. i have also noticed a lot of discharge latley.

It's hard to say when you're going to hit puberty because everyone's different. So, if your only 10, and you get your period, it's no big deal. Just hang in there!
