The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that young women have their first appointment with an OB-GYN between the ages of 12 and 14. These early visits normally do not involve a physical exam, but provide an opportunity for young women ask questions and get to know their gynecologist – which can help relieve the anxiety of visiting an OB-GYN for the first time.
