That is alarming to me that a woman could potentially be menstruating for 11 or so years before visiting a gynecologist! Sure, some pediatricians are decent at whole-picture stuff, but that's not a certainty by any means! I have a son, but I'd say 16 unless a concern crops up. [/quote]

If a girl is having regular periods and not complaining of any problems, what would the gynecologist be looking for or doing differently than a pediatrician?

Both our pediatrician and my GYN said girls need to be seen at 21 or when they become sexually active. Whichever comes first. We followed that guidance for our girls.  My older daughter is still a virgin ar 23. She saw the GYN at 21. My younger daughter was sexually active at 17. She saw the GYN before she had sex for the first time. She actually asked me to go with her. I thought that was pretty awesome. Our pediatrician did a great job talking to the kids about their bodies at every stage. [/quote]
