during a yearly physical will a pediatrican usually preform a pelvic and or breast exam on a teen?
NO. If you are sexually active, a referral to a qualified Gynecologist is appropriate. If you are not sexually active, unless you have a specific complaint a pelvic exam is NOT appropriate for a pediatrician or any other doctor to perform, same with a breast exam.
yes with a nurse or/and Mom present if nervous =the nurse will be there anyway
not the only i visit suited now. The waiting room used to have couples hiking toys, little tunnels and slides, yet after the maintenance.. they are long previous. that's sparkling and sterile, aside from a changing table and water cooler. that's superb even with the incontrovertible fact that, the toys have been grimy and unkempt besides. yet I went to this different hospital as quickly as (in yet another usa), that's stated as Kinder hospital. The waiting room have been spacious, colourful, with a lot of issues for babies to locate, in each and every nook. And in the paedia's examination room, there became right into a table cramped with rattles and different small toys that the physician might wave or put in your babies hands mutually as he study them. i admire that place. Even my son does not go away... LOL
