I am 16 years old and I was thinking if I should become gyno patient now. I have few friends who started with this since they were 15. Anyway, I was thinking I should not have these check-ups until I am sexually active. I want you to tell me if I am right, and can you tell me should I become gyno patient even if I do not have sex yet. I would like to know also, what I could expect when I go to the gynecologist one day.

The truth is that you should have a routine gynecological exam every year, beginning when you become sexually active. Many people are nervous about going to the gynecologist, especially when it is their first time, so you should not be worried too much. However, it can also feel empowering to take care of your body and get a clean bill of health, becoming a gyno patient. Gynecological exams are a good preventive measure to take so that if there is something wrong. Everything that might go wrong can be detected early, and it can help you stay healthy. It can be helpful to talk with your gynecologist or clinician ahead of time and letting him or her know your concerns about becoming gyno patient. This way, he or she can be extra sensitive and carefully explain all the procedures that will help you to relax. Some of the procedures include taking your medical history that means you will have to answer some questions about your health. Urine test, a breast exam, and a pelvic exam are also included in that when you are gyno patient. The pelvic exam is over in a couple of minutes, and though it may be a bit uncomfortable, it should not be painful.
