Going to the Gyno

Je
Hey guys! 
Just wanted to make a quick inquiry.
I am 19 years old and I am not sexually active. I've been told by a few people close to me that even if I am not sexually active it might still be a good idea to have at least an annual check up at the gynecologist. 
What do you guys think? 
Should I set up an appointment or wait? 
What are your experiences?
