[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does your regular OB-GYN see teenagers? I want to bring my teen for a visit to talk about birth control, but I don't know if its better to see the pediatrician or the OB-GYN. She's 17.[/quote] You can ask your Ped for a referral. Ours will allow teens to be patients through their 19th year at the practice, but they like to start phasing them out to an adult PCP between 17 and 18. Our Ped actually brought up DD seeing the OB-GYN for the first time at 14. DD was very much against it at the time, so Ped relaxed on the topic and said we had time. She brought it up again at 15 and DD was the same. Brought it up again at 16 and DD was more receptive, especially after hearing from friends who went that she didn't have to get a pelvic exam. She went for the first time at almost 17. Before then her Ped handled her birth control for heavy periods. [/quote]
