Subject: Preteen gynecological examination

There is a growing tendency to let young girls have their first gynecological examination already at the preteen period, typically at the age of 12.

In some countries this seems to be an established tradition, for example in some latino-american societies and Eastern European societies.

But also American pediatricians and gynecologists by now recommends that the first gynecological examination should take place at the age of 12-13.

Here is a linkto a pediatric site that adress itself to preteen or young teens that actually describes a regular gynecological exam. The description is headed under the gradeschool section, not the teen section.

Alrough this is a board for female matters, I will mention that similar exam of boys at the same age also seem to becomming etstablished at that age.
