In fact, it\u2019s highly recommended that women\u00a0should have a gynecologic evaluation every year\u00a0once they hit puberty. Most girls at that age may not need a pelvic exam but it\u2019s a good way to get started with a regular health exam and get them acquainted with a Gynecologist who can guide them on their future development. This will also put girls at ease which will help them share personal information about their health in the future.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Given the increasing the risk of cervical cancer, it is advisable for young girls from 12 years to take HPV vaccination prophylaxis against cervical cancer.
