In this episode, we discuss important preventive health topics for teens, including PAP smears, pelvic exams, STI testing, and contraception. This conversation is geared toward parents who want to support their children’s health before issues arise.
We cover:

• What happens during a pelvic exam and why it’s important
• Common STI testing for chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomonas, syphilis, HIV, and herpes
• Contraception options and effectiveness, including condoms and spermicides
