I'm also under the age of 15 and have my period i have never heard of such a test!. I know that you should go to a gynecologist if you having sex or over 18!. But no I'm 100% sure there is no test like that!. Here is a site that you might want to check out: beinggirl!.com!. it does have some useful tips!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
you certainly don't have to go every 6 months unless there is problems with irregularity or something, but you surely need to go in for a pap!. Every girl needs to go in for this as early as puberty starts for many reasons, early detection of cancer, pcos, etc!. If you wait until there is a problem, how can you prevent one!? I would talk to your mother or a trusted adult and get their advice on this!. Good LuckWww@Answer-Health@Com
Once you are about 18-20, or sexually active, whichever comes first, you should go to the gyno and get a pelvic exam and Pap smear!. They are just check ups for any possible sign of infection or anything wrong!. They will just look at, and in you and take a smear from your cervix to check for any signs of anything wrong, it is pretty much painless, although it can be uncomfortable, but it is important for your health!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
a test!? i've never heard of that!.!.unless you're having sex no test is needed!.!.!.unless you're talking about a pap!.!.which is nothing!.!.you just go the lady/man feels your boobs!.!.then scrapes a sample of your mucus!.!.!.and opens the vagina and feels in it while pressing your stomach!.!.!.that description probably even sounds worse than the actual experience lol!.!.nothing to worry about though!Www@Answer-Health@Com
no, that's not true!. ive had my period for a year (im 15 now) and i havent had to have any tests!. I think what you're thinking of is when you become sexually active, you have to go to the gynecologist every 6 months or so!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
