How do I tell my hispanic mom I want to see a gynecologist?
I am 17 (F), and I’ve been having some vaginal health issues. I think it might be BV, and I want to see a gynecologist just to make sure everything is okay. The problem is that I don’t know how to tell my hispanic mom. I’m worried she might get the wrong idea or feel disappointed in me. I know I’m getting older and my body is changing, but I just want to make sure I’m healthy. How can I explain this to her in a way that helps her understand and lets me see a gynecologist?
