We’re sorry we can’t answer every question. Be sure to talk to your health care provider if you have a specific question about your own health.
Due to online youth protection laws, we cannot accept questions from you if you are under 13 years of age without written permission from your parent or guardian.

For Parents [Link is to the Parents’ Page]
Welcome to the Parents Page! This selection of English and Spanish health guides is specifically targeted towards parents of young women ages 13-22. You can also browse our printed publications page to view our booklets on Endometriosis, PCOS, MRKH, and Eating Disorders (these booklets are available as PDFs to view or print for free). If your daughter has MRKH, you may want to join our MRKH Parent chat, a private online chat moderated by a health care professional where parents can ask questions, discuss concerns, and offer each other support.
You can also visit youngmenshealthsite.org to find researched health information for teenage boys and young men.
