[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teens don't need to go to the gynecologist. Gyne's are specialists who you see if there is an issue.

Their regular doctor can handle questions about birth control / sex etc. [/quote]

Disagree. Mine hasn’t gone yet, but I plan on taking her this summer before she goes to college. There was a long thread about this a few weeks ago.[/quote]

[b]It’s really hard and long waits to be seen by a gyn as a new patient with no issue.  [/b]Don’t waste their time and take up needed spots to others.  If all your teen needs is the safe sex and birth control options talk (and a prescription), the pediatrician or family doctor are completely qualified and do this all the time. [/quote]

One way to avoid this is to build a relationship with doctor before an issue presents itself. Like, perhaps when you’re 17/18.[/quote]

So you are going to have her meet and build a relationship with every kind of specialist just in case down the road she has an issue? Bizarre. She doesn't need to see a neurologist or a cardiologist or a gynecologist or an internist or a hematologist or a psychiatrist as a teen to build a relationship in case she has a future health issue.[/quote]

Unlike the other specialists you name, every woman is recommend to get Pap smears, breast exams, and discuss birth control just to name a few women’s health issues. Every woman. So your comparison with a gynecologist with a neurologist doesn’t connect.

Do you have a Google alert for this topic which is why you always post this kind of anti womens health stuff on DCUM?[/quote]

You don't think PCPs can do pap smears, breast exams and birth control? 
And I am all for women's health - just not the misuse of services. PCPs exist for a reason. Feeling like you are too good for a PCP and you and your family will only see specialists isn't the flex you think it is.[/quote]

Uh no. I don’t want my PCP to a pap smear.

This is such bizarre trolling. Who has an issue with women seeing a gynecologist for routine women’s healthcare?
