I have recently moved to a new city, and haven’t set things up with a new doctor yet. I’m wondering how many appointments I need to make right away. My birth control prescription is about to run out – do I need to make an appointment with a gynecologist to get this renewed, or can I ask my regular doctor when I go in for a physical?

My mom wants me to see a gynecologist for regular check ups and stuff.she wanted me to ask on here (she doesn’t know how this works.lol.) when is the appropriate age.Im currently 13 btw.

Also out of curiousity,do they weigh you there? And what happens at the gynecologist.Like how does the checkup go? :S
Also,will your parent be with you through all of this? or just some of it? and it isn’t ur family physician that is doing this.right?

I am 18 and have been sexually active for 3 months. My appointment with the gynecologist is in just under a week and I was wondering what to except from my first checkup as I am a little unsure and a little nervous.

Thankyou all so much!

I am planning on becoming a gynecologist, and was wondering if it’s okay for male gynecologists to wear earrings. I plan on wearing one square diamond stud in each ear, or one plain silver hoop earring in each ear. I have read online that there are physicians who are males with one earring in each ear, so I don’t know if it would be and different being a gynecologist. I will probably wear earrings anyway, but I’d like some input. What do you think?

I have just moved to Shreveport, LA, and it’s time for my annual gynecologist visit. I have always either gone to Planned Parenthood or Family Planning because they cater to low income families. However, I can not find either one in Shreveport, and cannot afford a "real" gynecologist. So, where are all the low income families like me going????

I’m a junior in high school and im thinking about going to college to either be an obstetrician or a gynecologist. I was just wondering what classes you need to take/get good grades in to become those kindof doctors?

I have a gynecologist appointment tomorrow and im 16 and i havent had sex, but i am planning on having sex soon so i need birth control. I was wondering if i havent had sex YET do I just get the talk and the birth control or do i get the breast exam and pap smear (where i have to undress) OR do they do the exam AFTER im sexually active?!

I’m about to turn 16, and was wondering, would I have to have a parent’s consent to get in to see a gynecologist? And about how much do appointments cost if you’re paying with cash?

I am a gynecologist in my mid-thirties. Sometimes I find my patients attractive, and sometimes I find myself thinking about them sexually as I perform gynecological exams. Of course I never physically act on my impulses, however, sometimes when I return to my apartment after work I will gently masturbate as I think about my patients while listening to classical music.

okay my whole life i’ve always went to my pediatrician for everything. i’m 18 i’ll be going to a gynecologist soon. what can i expect? what is that the diff bw having to go to a gynecologist and just a regular physician?

Gynecological -or whatever you call it – health issues are more common among them than women who lose their virginity years earlier.
That’s what I thought. Then, I read an article in which a gynecologist wrote that sexual inactivity disrupts hormonal imbalance and leads to infertility.

I have really horrible cramps. Midol used to work, but recently it doesn’t. My doctor prescribed me pain killers, and I ran out so I decided to just go to a gynecologist. What options might she offer me? I know birth control pills are one. Also, could there be anything wrong with me that i’m getting usch bad cramps or is it normal?
to Princess: I’m already 18 years old almost 19. I know how periods work. My periods are very regular..I just have bad cramps.

My regular doctor is being really hard to get a hold of, but I know I can always get in with the gynecologist when I need to. Can a gynecologist help me with a UTI?

I’ve had these before and usually just a regular antibiotic makes it go away really quickly, so I just need someone to write the script.

I have missed my period for a consecative three months but have done home pregnancy test and were negative. Also i am on the contraceptive pill i have booked an appointment with a gynecologist but amnot sure if a gynecologist even does a pregnency test or can prescrible contraceptive pill.. Can someone help me an tell me if a gynecologist is the best to see about this or would a GP Doctor be better.

How old should my daughter be before I make her go see a gynecologist?
She is 15 years old. She is a virgin. I am kinda thinking I should take her now. What do you think? They say the recomended age to first take your daughter is 13-15, but 13 seems too soon. (that is what medical websites have said)
I also have a 13 year old daughter. I am wondering if I should take her too. I think it seems too early for the 13 year old.

What do y’all think?
the 13 year old just got her period last October (the day after she turned 13)

the 15 year old got her period when she was about 13 I think.
also, if I took my 13 year old, do you think they would do everything to her?
(all 3 tests?)
