do i really need to see a gyno

Question

Do i honestly need to see a gyno since i started having sex? Im 19 & I started a few weeks ago

Answer

Yes they might want to give you a pap smear and mught ask if you want to be tested. (std/sti)
I would go just to let your Doctor know so if you have any questions about your health he can have a better answers to give since he knows you are sexually active now. Many things can be altered because of having sex. Hormones wise and your period may act funny for while just until it regulates itself.

Answer

I only really started to see Gyno to get birth control, most people don't start getting pap smears until 21 or so. I don't think it's necessary unless you're having problems.

Answer

I'd recommend going if you're sexually active, just to make sure you're clean and healthy, but I don't think it needs to be a routine thing until 20 or later.

Answer

Yes, once you are sexually active you should Go for your pap. This just checks basic things and also checks for HPV, which men can carry with no symptoms. So this is why you go as soon as you become sexually active or when you're 21, whichever comes first. It's not big deal, they arent judgemental at all. Let them know you're sexually active and they'll do what they need to and send you on your way. I just go once a year. Not a big deal to go for thirty minutes once a year, but definitely a smart decision for your overall health. I think it's really women have a complete separate Doctor just for women's health.

Answer

I'm 20, & pregnant and my Gyno said that they don't do Pap smears like they used to. It's not "common" anymore for people to start having them as soon as they have sex. I've never had one and my doctor says is not necessary at this time. Especially because I've only been with one person, and being pregnant, I've already got tested for diseases. 
You can go get a check up if you'd like, and maybe get on birth control.

Answer

I didn't go until I was 22. I lost my vCard when I was 20 and I went to planned parenthood for bc,  but was told I didn't need a pap smear yet.

Answer

I lost my virginty when I wass 16 and didn't go to the Gyno until now at 20 when I got pregnant. They didn't seem surprised when I told them it was my first time. They say a lot of women don't go until they're 21, don't know if that's the case but my Gyno wasn't concerned that I hadn't been yet 😊
