Pediatricians typically do not perform pelvic exams on children or adolescents unless there is a specific medical reason or concern. For older adolescents, gynecologists or family medicine doctors specializing in adolescent care are more likely to conduct pelvic exams. Pediatricians focus on overall health, development, and preventive care, addressing reproductive health issues through education and referrals when necessary.
Pelvic exams start earlier if the teenager (under 18 years) requests oral contraception. Pap smears should continue once yearly for three years and at the physicians discretion following this time.
Pelvic exams are important for several reasons, including the early detection of potential health issues such as sexually transmitted infections (STIs), cervical cancer, and other reproductive system disorders. They also allow healthcare providers to assess the overall health of the reproductive organs and address any concerns related to menstrual irregularities, pelvic pain, or contraceptive needs. Additionally, pelvic exams can foster open communication between patients and providers, promoting better reproductive health management. Regular exams are essential for maintaining women’s health, especially as they age.

Even after a hysterectomy, a pelvic exam may be necessary to monitor overall pelvic health and check for any abnormalities or complications in surrounding structures, such as the ovaries or cervix (if they were not removed). It can also help assess issues related to urinary or bowel function and screen for other gynecological conditions. Regular pelvic exams are important for maintaining women's health regardless of surgical history.
