It's always recommended that all girls see a gynecologist for the first time from ages 13 to 15 but usually a pelvic exam won't be needed at the first visit.

Pap smears won't usually be needed until age 21 though and then a Pap smear is recommended every 3 years after that.

During the first visit to the gynecologist the doctor will usually just talk to the girl about her health and see if she has any health issues and then may do a test a few visits later.

The test don't usually take long either and you'll usually be in and out of the gynecologist office pretty quick.

Even as a virgin you can go to a gynecologist.

A gynecologist is a doctor who specializes in female reproductive health.

They diagnose and treat issues related to the female reproductive tract.

This includes the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries and breasts.

Anyone with female organs may see a gynecologist.

Obstetrics involves care during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period.

Gynecology deals with reproductive health and the functions and diseases specific to women and girls.

Yes you can go to and see a gynecologist if your a virgin.

You don't have to have intercourse or sex to be able to see a gynecologist and you can still get tests done such as a Pap smear etc.

Although if you've never had sex or been sexually active then you likely don't need to have any tests such as a pap smear or anything else done by a gynecologist.

But it certainly won't hurt to get checked over every once in awhile by a gynecologist if you want too.

Having some tests done just to make sure everything is okay would be better than not going and having something wrong.
