Your Teen’s First Gynecology Visit: How to Make It a Positive Step, Not a Scary One

There’s a quiet shift that happens when your daughter enters her teen years. Suddenly, her world changes—her body, her emotions, her questions.

One of the most meaningful—and sometimes nerve-wracking—steps is her first gynecology appointment. And while it might bring up some anxiety (for both of you), it’s also a powerful opportunity to lay the foundation for lifelong confidence, body awareness, and health.

Let’s talk about how to make that first appointment feel safe, respectful, and completely her own.
