Question
I saw my regular doctor and she did a quick vaginal exam. I am 19 years old do I need to see a gyno?
Answer
Probably not, unless the doctor suggested it. If you are sexually active, she likely did a pap test to check for cervical cancer, and tested you for chlamydia already. If you are not sexually active, there is no need.
