i thought i might add that you can also go if you have a problem. whether you think you might have an std, getting tested, you think you have a disease (not just any std, but maybe a yeast infection, irregular periods, etc).
so dont think you only go if you are sexually active. it doesnt hurt to have a checkup.

an ob/gyn is a dr just for the vagina. They perscribe birth control pills after giving you a pap smear. If you're not having sex there is no reason to see one. After becoming sexually active you should see your ob/gyn once a year. They also test for cervical cancer. They do blood test for STD's.

From my experience, a Gynecologist will ask you questions, to see what are the problems you are experiencing, and the reason why you came. If you are sexually active, they will give you a Pap Smear. What that is, is they check your vagina basically. There is no real reason to if you are not sexually active, unless they really think it's necessary (though that is uncommon).
If needed, they'll prescribe medication to you if they find it necessary.
That was just a brief explanation. If you need any more information, feel free to leave one in my inbox! =]
