How old are people when they get doctors appointments for down there and what happens
Hey - thanks for asking luna 💛
It's a good idea to see a doctor if you have any concerns about your vagina, vulva or anything else to do with your sexual health.
You can see a doctor at any age, but if you're under 16, it's a good idea to take a trusted adult with you. The doctor will ask you some questions about your symptoms and may want to examine you. They will explain what they are doing and why, and you can ask them any questions you have.
If you're worried about seeing a doctor, it might help to write down your questions or concerns beforehand, and take them with you to the appointment. Remember, doctors are there to help you, and they see lots of people with the same concerns as you.
Hope this helps! 💖
