When Should a Teenager Have Her First Gynecological Visit?
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends that girls have their first gynecological visit between the ages of 13 and 15. This initial visit typically involves a general health check and education rather than a pelvic exam. It's an opportunity to establish a relationship with a gynecologist, discuss menstrual health, and address any concerns.
