Going to a Gyno

Unread post by katkit0598 »

Im 17 years old and have had 1 sexual partner (who's only sexual partner has been me). I dont really know much about the Gyno and what happens there to be completely honest :oops: . I still go to the same doctor i've always gone to since I was an infant and I only go for checkups here and there. Im assuming that since im sexually active I should most definately go to one but, i'm not entirely sure what happens there and would really like to know before I go.

You are right that once someone becomes sexually active is very important to keep up with their sexual healthcare, so kudos to you for doing it! :)

We have a couple of very good articles that talk about this very topic that you might find useful. They are here:
