Answers:
yup, you can!. Go to plan parenthood and they'll do one for you!. I was 17 when I got my first pap, (because i wanted birthcontrol)!. They'd be happy to see you just to do a checkup!. Its great that you care about your health!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I went to the Gynecologist when I was 15 but I was pregnant!. You can and should go as soon as you are sexual active or 18 which ever comes first!. And be honest with them!.

As far as the parents consent they have to consent to treat if you are a minor in your state!. They don't however have the right to you medical information if you tell the doctor so!. The doctor cant tell them anything!.

Just read your update-
Tell your dad you need to go to the female doctor for a check up and a pap(called a well woman exam) Most of the time men will stop you right there and say ok just tell me when!. He can wait in the waiting room or car!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I started seeing mine when I was 15, and yes you can go w/out your parents knowing because ive gone a couple times by myself and your doctor is not legally allowed to tell anyone, even your parents, any of your information without your consent!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i did when i was 15!. it was for my period though!. my mom paid for it and stuff but she wasnt in the room at the same time i was !. tell your dad, that way hell pay for it and im sure he wont want to go with you!. if he asks why you could always lie and say you have period problems!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

YEAH U CAN SEE A GYNECOLOGIST BUT SINCE UR UNDER AGE THERE MIGHT BE SOME ISSUES, THE BEST THING THAT U CAN DO IS THAT U MIGHT WANT TO GO TO A PLANNED PARENTHOOD LOCATION AND THEY HAVE NURSE PRACTICIONERS THAT CAN DO THE EXAM WITHOUT ANYONE KNOWING BECAUSE IT IS CONFIDENTIAL INFO, SO CHECK TO SEE IF THERES ONE NEAR UWww@Answer-Health@Com
