The purpose was to investigate age, place, and indication for 17 year-old women's first pelvic examination. A postal questionnaire was sent to 1500 randomly selected 17 years-old Danish women. The response rate was 76%. The median age at which such examinations first took place was 17 years and 10 months. The majority (86%) of examinations were performed by general practitioners and 72% were performed in relation to prescription of oral contraceptives. This indication has previously been a recommendation of the Danish National Board of Health, but changes have been announced, and indications for pelvic examinations of teenagers should be discussed.
目的是调查17岁女性首次盆腔检查的年龄、地点及检查指征。向1500名随机抽取的17岁丹麦女性发送了邮政调查问卷。回复率为76%。此类检查首次进行的中位年龄为17岁10个月。大多数（86%）检查由全科医生进行，72%的检查与口服避孕药的处方有关。这一指征此前一直是丹麦国家卫生局的一项建议，但已宣布有变化，青少年盆腔检查的指征应予以讨论。
