    If you have an STD go to the fucking gyno. Common sense.

    You need to go to the Gynocologist. Doctors deal with all sorts of things but this is a Gynocologists' specialty and they can possibly "treat" you better than a regular doctor can.

    I've never seen the gyno either and I'm 19, but then again, I've never had problems. You're an adult and can make decisions for yourself now - if you think that you need to see the gyno, do it.

    If you have an STD, you go to a gyno.

    You can go to Planned Parenthood or certain clinics without insurance and they won't fuck you over.

    Do you go to a podiatrist when you have a sore throat? Doctors have specialties for a reason.

    Your current doctor is terrible if they do not refer you to a gyno. What are they trying to prove?

    You're an adult. I don't see why you're polling random strangers about your health. I also don't see why it's your moms business.

    That's what I tell my mother. I'm still under my parents health insurance . My option I'm going to the gyno ive picked out a while ago without the insurance.

    Sweet Jesus. If you're 22 you should be able to pick up a phone and call a Gyno.
    If you're over 18 or sexually active a pap smear is SO important. It's sad your mom isn't forcingyou to go see one instead of telling you not to.
    Girls- the Gyno is trained to help you. They can save your life, and make it easier.

    If your having your STD treated an having regular normal pap smears, I don't think u need a gyno.
