Having "the talk" as a teenager is a time-honored tradition.

Hill an Adolescent Medicine Physician at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

However, discomfort from the teenager, parent, and even clinician may lead to delays in having "the talk" or a full agenda for well visits may cause it to be pushed to the next time the teenager is in the office.
