it will be easier if you do, they will ask you alot of questions about your health history and your family's history. They will also need insurance information. Also, it might calm your nerves. If you are uncomfortable, your mom doesn't need to come inside for the actual check up, Just having her in the waiting room will help.

Yes, you do need a parent to accompany you on your first visit to a gynecologist. This visit will happen to be very important for you and your parents. So it is very imperative that you have that person with you. The gynecologist will inform your parents about certain STDs' that are out now, and they do deserve to know. Also you are their child, so they have the right to come with you on your visit.

How old are you? I think it's a maturity thing. If they go with and you're feeling nervous they can hold you hand through the process. If you're feeling fine about it, they can sit in the waiting room. It'll ease your mind to know they're there for you. But if you feel okay doing it yourself, then go ahead, or take a friend instead.

no you don't you can go by yourself or with someone if you like. the first time maybe be scary but if you had a previous meet with your gyno then you may feel more comfortable. it is a little on comfortable but it's is usually over before you know it.

if you are of legal age (18+), then no. if younger, most likely you will need them to accompany you.

it would be a smart idea but if you have no parents around try taking an aunt, cousin, or even a really close friend.
