Batala, EMC Hospital – For teenage girls and young women, it is essential to know when it is the right time to consult a gynecologist. In today’s fast-paced world, where physical, hormonal, and emotional changes occur rapidly, timely medical consultation and proper guidance can help prevent many future complications. Senior gynecologist Dr. Riya Mahajan from EMC Hospital, Batala, shared important insights, emphasizing that every girl should ideally have her first gynecological visit between the ages of 13 and 15.
This initial consultation is not necessarily related to any illness but plays a crucial role in helping young girls understand the natural changes in their bodies, become aware of reproductive health, and take preventive steps to avoid future complications. During adolescence, girls commonly experience issues such as irregular periods, heavy menstrual bleeding, intense menstrual pain, hormonal acne, and recurring vaginal infections, which should not be ignored, as they can impact long-term health.
Dr. Riya Mahajan explains that young women also need expert advice on contraceptive methods, sexual health, menstrual hygiene, PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), weight management, the HPV vaccine, and mental well-being. She urges parents to encourage open conversations with their daughters, creating a safe space for them to seek information and medical advice without hesitation. Such support not only boosts their confidence but also empowers them to lead healthier lives in the future.
