At what age should we start seeing an OB/gyn?

OB/gyn stands for obstetrician and gynecologist. These are doctors that deal exclusively with female anatomy and having a baby. To answer your question, you can start whenever you’re ready, but your first pap smear won’t be until you’re 21 in the US. Until that time, most issues can be managed by your PCP.
