The period of adolescence is not so strong reason for visiting the gynecologist but you have to realise that it will be necessary soon.

When ?

- if your menstruation periods go wrong e.g. you are 16 but you still haven’t had the first period or you had it once or twice and it stopped, or it happens within short periods of time
- stomachaches and abdminal pains are sound reasons for the first visit to the gynecologist. Although young girls suffer from gynecological diseases very rarely, they cannot be excluded. It is essential to have a proper examination to check whether there are no myomas or cysts. Fungi and bacteria infections occur regardless of your age, so any vaginal discharge should be a good sign to visit the doctor.
- for informational purposes if you want to begin your sexual life

- if there’s a possbility that you’re pregnant, visit the gynecologist quickly

Where should you go ?

Ask friends or people you trust about the doctor they recommend so you will be sure that the gynecologist is good. Of course, the best option is to go to the doctor with your mother. Mothers usually guide their daughters to their own gynecologists as they are resposible for their health and care.

How should you prepare ?

If you visit the gynecologist ofr the first time, gather all the information about the diseases that you suffered from or occured in your family. Note down the date of the first and the last period. It is good to visit the gynecologist in between the two menstruational bleedings as the examination will be less likely to cause pain. Remember to wear some longer t-shirt or a pullover on that day because you will have to walk from the place where you undress to the gynecological chair. You will feel more comfortable then.

What can you expect ?

It is good to know what to expect beforehand. You can ask your mother or any trusted person. After a conversation (the longer it lasts, the more information about your health the doctor will get) the doctor will ask you to sit on a gynecological chair and to put your legs into the appropriate knee crutches. First, you wil have your outer side of the abdomen examined, anomalies can be noticed in such a way. Then, the doctor will examine your vagina: he/she wil put with two fingers into the vagina and his/her hand onto your stomach. This way is appropriate for checking vagina, uterine tube and the uterus. Then he/she will put vaginal speculum into the vagina to examine its inner side.
Remember that virgins are examined through the rectum.
