Your first visit
Every girl should have her first gynecological examination before becoming sexually active, even if she has no problems. This usually happens around the age of 15. The examination is very gentle and there is nothing to be afraid of. A gynecological check-up is also advisable before the start of sexual life, even when there are no problems.
What to bring
- your health insurance card
- knowledge of your allergies, your health, your family history, the regularity of your menstrual cycle, etc.
What to expect
- creating your personal record - questions about the information mentioned above
- examination by ultrasound or vaginoscope (a thin tube that can be inserted painlessly into the vagina even with an intact hymen, allowing the vagina to be examined)
- training in breast self-examination - mainly to help prevent breast cancer
- examination with a speculum (only for girls who have already become sexually active)
- microbial and oncocytological swabs with a brush if necessary (a test for the presence of bacteria, prevention of cervical cancer, etc.)
- consultation on contraception and choosing the right form of it
Accompaniment
For your first visit we definitely recommend bringing your mother, who can be a great emotional support. She will also be able to answer our questions when we create your personal record. A companion will also help you with initial nervousness and can wait in the waiting room. Do not worry about the examination :)
