When should a teen girl have her first visit to the gynecologist?
Question:
Answers:
Find a young, female gynecologist to see your teenage daughters so that they don't feel so frightened. Let them meet and talk to the gynecologist before they jump right into the examination. If you can, call your pediatrician and ask if they happen to know of any such gynecologists who deal regularly with teenagers - this will help you to find someone who is sensitive to the fears and concerns of your daughters.
You should take both of your daughters to the same doctor on the same day, so that they can be one another's moral support. If you can make an appointment for all three of you, even better. Just make sure you go last, so that you can be there in the waiting room with them while they wait.
If your daughter is having her period twice a month, that can't be good. Even if it's nothing serious - she's still losing a lot of blood and iron. You don't want to risk having her become anemic, or developing Endometriosis, a condition where overly frequent or overly heavy periods cause scar tissue to develop that can lead to reproductive problems or even sterility.
that's what im going to say, when their pediatrician or ur primary physician suggest that they go because they need to...if there are no problems, they can start going when they are 18.... and reading materials can help ur teens understand the importance of these gyne visits....
