Why should people go to the gynacologist?
Answers: It is good to go the gynecologist to find out if there is any problem with your womb, cervix and your whole vagina area. Early detection of any problem, if there is any, can be resolved quickly, but, if you wait too late then all problems would be harder to treat. Your vagina is your life and is part of yourself and you should love enough to protect it. So why not find out what is going on with her from time to time. It might be worth it in the end..
You should go when you start having sex (to check for STDs), or when you turn 18. This is just like a regular doctor's check up--they have to see if everything looks normal both outside & inside. Even if you don't have sex, they want to see if everything is developing correctly...and also they can look for any yeast infections, etc.
If you are also having period problems or bad stomach cramps, they can see what the problem is and give you birth control pills which can be a life saver.
It should be covered by insurance, so go in just like you would a regular doctor :)!
PS: its gynecologist**!
PPS: Don't be scared to go in either! It's really fast and painless..
