You're supposed to start getting regular, annual gynecologist exams, including a pap smear test, when you first become sexually active or when you turn 18. A pap smear checks for irregular cells on your cervix that could develop into cervical cancer.

Yes, you do need to see a gynecologist.
A pap test is a simple quick test where the doctor takes a scraping of the surface cells from your cervix to check for cellular anomalies that might indicate pre-cancerous conditions.
