Gyno...yeah it's weird.?
Question:
But I know it's healthy from growing up in the age that I do. And I'm worried that when I start my mom won't let me go there because she doesn't and its "not needed".
How in the world should I tell her I want to go when I do need to?
Thanks for the hep.

Answers:
you should just come right out and tell her. and if she tells you not to, then just say something like "Well I care about my bodies health, and if you cared about me like you say you do, then you should let me go." it is important, and the rest of your family should as well. if ( God forbid) you or any of the rest of the women in your family ever developed cervical cancer, or any other vaginal cancer.it helps to detect it early because if they catch it early you (they) have a much better chance of survival than they would if they catch it when it has been growing for over a year. urge them to start going.. sorry i've been rambling, but I hope this helps. and good luck telling your mother!
You won't need a gyno until you are sexually active. Don't feel like you absolutely must go when you start your menses. Just get your regular check ups.
Check ups are very important. Especially for females. I think the best way to have your mother understand is by providing her with information as to why it's important to get these check-ups. If it's for your health, I'm pretty sure she'll understand.
You can also go to your nearest free clinic where they can examine you and give you medication for free. They are also not allowed to give out any information about you to anyone. Good luck.
Try Planned Parenthood; you don't need a parent's permission, and the charge according to your income. If you're a teenager without a job, it would be free, or almost so. Good luck!
it's very important to see a gyno doctor,especially if you are sexually active. If not it's still important you may have a history of cervical cancer in your family, and sence your mother doesn't go you wouldn't know a having a pap smear can determine that, sexual active are not.
You shouldn't need to go until you start being sexually active, and need STD checks. If you really think you should go, and feel that you'd feel better going to see a gyno, you should calmly talk to your mom about why you feel like you should go. If you can't convince her, or if she can't convince you that you don't need to go, you may want to consider asking a close neighbor or another close female (or even male, if you're comfortable) adult to take you. Although if you're under 18, it'll be pretty hard to do anything without your mom, since she's your legal guardian, and therefore has the rights to you.
