Dr. Nicole is a go-to if you have any confusion about menstruation, discharge, the anatomy of the vagina and reproductive system or when you should have your first gynecology visit. She recommends your initial visit to be between the ages of 13 and 15 years old, just to get to know your doctor and get a basic check on your health. According to her, you don't even have to get a physical exam if you aren't experiencing any issues.

Dr. Jennifer Lincoln, another great OB-GYN, knows there is a ton of misinformation out there regarding women's health. No, you don't have to shave to in order to be clean (!) and you should never feel ashamed for what you choose to do with your body. Her content is refreshingly blunt and straightforward as she constantly strives for girls and women of all ages to know that her page is a judgment-free zone. She totally welcomes messages and comments with any questions you may have too.
