Do I need to see a gynecologist when I start my period

Dear Iris,

I just started my period, and my mom wants me to visit a gynecologist. None of my friends who have started their periods have gone, and I am wondering whether it is really necessary for me to go, or whether I can wait awhile

t.t.


Dear t.t.,

If you are sexually active or have health problems related to the reproductive system, you should see a gynecologist no matter how old you are. But if you are not sexually active and have no problems, there is no need for you to see a gynecologist until you reach 18 years of age.
