What is Adolescent Gynecology?
Adolescent gynecology specializes in providing medicine and treatment for teenage girls and young women, helping them learn about their bodies and take control of their health. As a specialty, adolescent gynecology includes wellness checkups and pap smears and provides care for sexual health concerns such as STDs, painful periods, and unwanted pregnancies.
Young women should have their first visit with an OB/GYN between the ages of 13 to 15. First exams can be terrifying at first, but our team can help do everything we can to ensure that young teenagers feel comfortable in our office and create safe spaces to take about their health. During the first examinations, our specialists will perform the following:
- Medical Questionnaire: During the medical questionnaire, our specialists can discuss your concerns about your medical history, including period problems, birth control, sexual activity, and possible painful symptoms.
- Breast Exam: Breast cancer is considered rare for teenagers but is still an essential part of the visit for detecting lumps, cysts, or other breast problems.
- Pelvic Exam: Our specialists can observe the ovaries, uterus, and cervix to screen for health problems using a speculum device.
- Pap Smear: Pap smears are performed during the pelvic exam to check for changes in the cervical wall, STDs, and other diseases.
