EXPERT GYNELOGICAL CARE FOR YOUNG WOMEN | ATLANTA, GA

Services for Young Adults

As teens transition to adulthood, having access to expert gynecological care can help them address common concerns, like irregular periods, acne, and more.

At Women’s Health Associates Group, we’re proud to provide compassionate and comprehensive care for young women. Our goal is to create a safe, judgment-free environment where teens and young adults can discuss sensitive topics, ask questions, and receive the support they need. Whether you’re dealing with a specific health concern or looking to establish healthy habits, we’re here to provide expert support.

Take the first step in building a lifelong foundation for your health. Request an appointment with Women’s Health Associates Group today.

What To Expect At Your First Appointment

The first gynecological visit is an important milestone, and it’s designed to be informative and comfortable. At Women’s Health Associates Group, we prioritize building trust and educating young women about their health during this initial appointment. A pelvic exam or Pap smear is typically not performed unless there’s a medical reason, such as pelvic pain or unusual symptoms. Instead, we focus on addressing common concerns, like:

  • Menstrual Disorders in Adolescence: It’s common for teenagers and young women to deal with unpredictable or painful menstrual cycles. We work with young women to understand and address issues like irregular, heavy, or painful periods, providing treatments such as hormonal options or other remedies.
  • Acne & Skin Care: Hormonal changes during the teenage years often lead to acne, but with the right resources and recommendations, young women can better manage their skin health and improve their confidence.
  • HPV Prevention: We offer counseling regarding the Gardasil vaccine, which is used to protect against the human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV can cause cervical cancer and other conditions.
Our team is committed to ensuring that every young woman leaves her first appointment feeling informed and empowered. We aim to make each visit as comfortable and supportive as possible, laying the groundwork for a lifetime of good health.

Why should a young woman visit a gynecologist if she’s not sexually active?

Visiting a gynecologist isn’t just about sexual health. Regular gynecological visits help address concerns like irregular periods, educate young women about their bodies, and monitor the health of their reproductive system. These visits also provide a safe space to discuss any questions about health and wellness.

When should young women get their first Pap smear?

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends that women have their first Pap smear at age 21, regardless of when they become sexually active. This important screening test helps detect abnormal cervical cells early, reducing the risk of cervical cancer. If you have questions about cervical health or routine screenings, our team at Women’s Health Associates Group is here to help.

What is the Gardasil vaccine, and when should it be given?

The Gardasil vaccine protects against HPV, which can lead to cervical cancer. It’s recommended for girls (and boys) starting at age 9, and is usually administered at a pediatrician’s office.

While completing the series early ensures the best protection, the vaccine is encouraged for adults up to the age of 45. At Women’s Health Associates Group, we offer counseling for the vaccine for women who may not have received it during childhood.
