TEEN REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH · CARLSBAD

A place to ask real questions. Without feeling weird about it.

Respectful, unhurried reproductive healthcare for teens—with clear information, genuine choice, and no shame.

TO THE TEEN COMING IN

Your body is not embarrassing. Your questions are not “too much.”

You don’t need to know the medical words. You don’t need to have everything figured out. You can ask what is normal, what is happening, what your options are—or say that you don’t know where to begin.

We will explain what we are doing and why. Exams and tests are discussed with you first; an internal exam is not automatically part of a teen visit.

You want them informed. And you want them safe.

Does a teen visit always include an internal exam?

No. A first visit can simply be a conversation. Any exam or testing is explained and discussed before it happens.

What questions can I bring?

You can ask about periods, puberty, body changes, urinary or vaginal concerns, sexual health, STI screening, pregnancy prevention, or anything you are unsure how to name.

Will the visit be private?

Kayti explains confidentiality and its limits clearly. Teen privacy is respected while healthy family communication and safety are supported.
