Supporting Your Teen Through Gynecology Care: A Parent’s Guide

Teens need guidance — but they also need space. At Be. Women’s Health in Frisco, TX, we help parents find the right balance as their daughters navigate growing bodies, hormones, and big feelings.

How to support your teen:

1. Keep conversations open and judgment-free.
Normalize questions about periods, hormones, and emotions.

2. Respect their privacy.
Teens often share more when they feel safe and not monitored.

3. Validate their symptoms.
Heavy periods, cramps, or acne are not “dramatic teen stuff” — they’re real medical concerns.

4. Attend appointments together.
But allow your teen a few private minutes with the provider.

5. Look for emotional changes.
Hormone shifts can impact mental health — it’s okay to ask how they’re feeling.

A supportive parent + an accessible provider = a teenager who feels confident advocating for her health.
