Have a daughter who is not a little girl anymore? The care team at our practice are sensitive to the needs of both mother ad daughter in this first visit and take great care in making it a comfortable non-intimidating experience. Here are some guidelines on when the first visit. As girls grow into teens, it's important that they receive appropriate medical care. The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) recommends that young women have their first visit with an... obstetrician-gynecologist (OB/GYN) between the ages of 13 and 15. For most teens, the first visit will include an external examination of the genitals but not an internal examination of the reproductive organs, which is recommended beginning at age 21 for healthy women. However, if your daughter has abnormal vaginal bleeding, painful periods, unusual vaginal secretions, or other problems that may be associated with her reproductive health, she may need a pelvic exam. http://kidshealth.org/parent/growth/medical/first_gyn.html See more
