OB-GYNs provide care for women of all ages. These physicians practice both gynecology and obstetrics — the medicine and science of childbirth and its aftercare.

Between the ages of 13-15 is the ideal time for someone’s first OB/GYN appointment. Your first visit can include a discussion with your doctor about your vaginal health and sexual history. You may also have a few exams, such as a general physical and an external exam of your genitals. It is unlikely that you will need to have a pelvic exam or a Pap test at your first gynecology appointment.

After your first positive pregnancy test, most OB-GYNs will see you within 8 weeks after your last menstrual cycle.

The most common reasons your physician might recommend a C-section include:
